New Charlotte Moss Book

Charlotte Moss: At Home in Virginia

 

I am a big Charlotte Moss fan and am thrilled that she has a new book coming out soon. Celebrated interior designer Charlotte Moss now calls Charlottesville, Virginia home. She purchased and renovated a country residence there to serve as her Southern base, and documented her gardens and the property in her book, Charlotte Moss: At Home in Virginia. She has written 10 previous books on style, flowers, and entertaining at home.

Having lived in Virginia myself for decades before relocating to Florida, I can't wait to read it. And Charlottesville is a favorite place of mine. BTW, she is a Virginia native. Charlotte Moss was born in Richmond, Virginia. After high school, she enrolled as an English major at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU), where she worked in the admissions office. In 1978 she moved to New York City and landed a job at a brokerage firm.

Historically, she was best known for her iconic 14-room, six-story Queen Anne townhouse located on East 71st Street on Manhattan's Upper East Side, though she sold that property.

She relocated from her longtime Manhattan townhouse to be closer to family, and she maintains a country home in East Hampton, New York.

The celebrated designer opens the doors to a most personal project—her refined house and glorious garden in Virginia, which offer endless inspiration for a life of comfort and style. 

"With the insight of a design historian and the sensibility of a seasoned tastemaker, Moss traces the historic influences and experiences that shape her own country residence. Readers will discover a selection of her admired spaces—gracious entertaining rooms, thoughtfully designed workspaces, an inspiring flower room, serene bedrooms, expansive garden areas, and a secluded tower retreat perfect for morning reflection or evening repose. Each reflects Moss’s distinctive vision for comfort, personal expression, and a lifetime of design exploration."
