Southern Hospitality at Home presents the key ingredients that contribute to making a Southern house a heart-warming place for family and friends. It illustrates how Southerners use every part of their homes from welcoming porches and entrance halls to inviting living rooms, pretty guestrooms, comfortable kitchens, and shady garden rooms to weave their spell of hospitality. Focusing on decorating and entertaining ideas, the book provides a guide to the secrets of the region s incomparable hospitality and living that is both practical and inspirational. Featured are an array of exceptional houses ranging from the casual to the formal, including a refined house in Charleston; a Federal dwelling in the Virginia Hunt Country; a Colonial Revival residence in Nashville; a shooting farm in Thomasville, Florida; and a coastal getaway in North Carolina. The book is organized in sections that cover architectural and design components: welcoming facades, front doors, and front gardens; porches, foyers, and entrance halls; living rooms; dining rooms; powder rooms; kitchens and pantries; guest rooms and guesthouses; and gardens and garden sunrooms. Throughout, there are decorating and entertaining tips, including flower arrangements, table settings, silver care, authentic Southern go-to recipes, and more.
