It is in the winter house that friends and family gather for the holidays and recuperate after a day of skiing and sledding. In Winter House, Charlotte Moss shows how to create the ultimate house in winter. (November, 2005)

The Poetry of Home
For centuries, writers have borne vivid witness to the pleasures of home. Sometimes witty, often wise, their comments bring houses, rooms to life by the author’s ability to make you smell, touch, and smile with their words. In The Poetry of Home, Charlotte Moss shares some of the best of these insights.

Creating a Room
Charlotte’s second book, Creating A Room, is for anyone who has ever felt daunted by the prospect of decorating or redecorating a house or apartment. An elegant and practical book that takes the mystery and frustration out of the process of decorating. Creating a Room was the first book to visually demonstrate, in a series of full-color paintings by James Steinmeyer, how a room evolves over time. (Viking Studio Books, March 1995)
A Passion for Detail
With a lively, fresh, and inspiring look at interior decoration and special emphasis on the “details” that add richness to any home, Charlotte’s first book A Passion for Detail is a sumptuous showcase of ideas that will inspire and educate. Throughout the book the photography of Joe Standart captures Charlotte’s keen and sometimes unorthodox observations. And Jim Steinmeyer’s brilliant illustrations of the special rooms of celebrated people – Fred Astaire, Diana Vreeland, Winston Churchill and Mark Twain, among others – are vibrant with the unique personalities that lived there.
