The National Trust Desk Diary 2002 - Hardcover

Britain's National Trust marks the year 2002 with a celebration of color, showcased here in a wealth of photos. Their properties provide an unrivaled palette: the interiors of historic houses, for example, reveal that red walls were used for hanging paintings, green bedrooms had fertile associations, and blue kitchens kept the flies at bay. Equally colorful are the gardens--the Red Border at Hidcote, the golden autumnal shades at Sheffield Park, the deep green topiary at Packwood. And, of course, there's fashion, from red christening blankets to black mourning costumes. All these, and much more, are explored in this vibrant edition of the "Desk Diary."
