Lush color photographs with accompanying explanatory text illustrate how these couples combined individual tastes to achieve unified, dramatic interior design statements. After each home's profile, a set of "harmonious how-to's" are offered to summarize the couple's aesthetic philosophy. But the real treat here is the illusion of being a virtual guest in (take your pick) a picturesque villa on the Mediterranean, an eccentrically restored home in Barcelona, a minimalist loft in London, a stone quarry in Provence, or perhaps a formal townhouse in Manhattan. --Judy Fireman Average Rating:
