"Marshall Watson's book The Art of Elegance: Classic Interiors is a
compendium of the designers projects that hew towards timeless
style. Working with soft colors and a layering of classical and
contemporary elements, Watson's interiors are at once high style
and relaxed. "I devoted my first book to the subject matter of
elegance because it encapsulates my career's direction and
hopefully, my career's achievements. And couldn't the world
use a little more - along with a touch of civility and kindness,"
says Watson."
