top--all rooted in real passion or obsession. The Peak of Chic's
Jennifer Boles brings it all to In with the Old. Her inquiring eye
unearths wonderful treasures of interior design and entertaining
from the past. But it's her insight and perspective that makes it
all suddenly modern and so now."
--Newell Turner, Editorial Director, Hearst Design Group "Jennifer
Boles has a keen eye for the details that make a room feel
considered and chic. Her charming new book catalogs lessons learned
from the Greats and they're all here, wrapped nice and tidy for
your viewing pleasure. This volume is essential for anyone who
enjoys decorating history and l'art de vivre."

"Everything stylish from A to Z. Anything you need to know about
chic interiors."
--Michael S. Smith, designer and author of Building Beauty: The
Alchemy of Design "Jennifer Boles' blog "Peak of Chic" is a
constant source of design history and style which I never miss and
her new book "In With the Old" is the dictionary for the vocabulary
of beloved design details that have been used throughout the years.
A wonderful educational read."
--Bunny Williams, designer and author of Bunny Williams' Scrapbook
for Living "In with the Old is a visual encyclopedia with a wealth
of information about how we lived in style in the past. Jennifer
Boles is the Miss Manners of interior decorating and has compiled
everything au courant before 1970. An essential work for interior
design students, this history of design is fun to look at and to
read."--Mario Buatta, aka "The Prince of Chintz" and author of
