The American South has always had its own unique architectural flavour. A Place to Call Home explores eleven of its most unique and diverse homes.

What does this book cover?

A Place to Call Home: Timeless Southern Charm is a celebration of everything that makes southern architecture unique – the tastes, styles and interior preferences of its residents and the amazing homes delivered by some of its top design houses. Each one of these buildings is more than a show house – it is a living, breathing home.

As you read, you’ll explore:

• Newly built modern homes, recently remodelled classics and a few complete home makeovers in iconic southern styles
• A diverse array of southern architectural styles keyed to different tastes, family makeups and usage patterns
• James Farmer’s own stories of life, love and home décor in the south
