With its lush gardens, stately town houses, and sprawling plantations,
Savannah is the epitome of old Southern style, and who better to give
you the grand tour than Paula Deen, the city’s most famous resident and
anointed Queen of Southern Cuisine? In this gorgeous, richly
illustrated book, Paula Deen shares a full year of Southern living.
Whether it’s time to put out your best china and make a real fuss, or
you’re just gathering for some sweet tea on the porch at dusk, Savannah
style is about making folks feel welcome in your home. With the help of
decorator and stylist Brandon Branch, you’ll learn how to bring a bit of
Southern charm into homes from Minnesota to Mississippi. For each
season, there are tips on decorating and entertaining. In the spring,
you’ll learn how to make the most of your outdoor spaces, spruce up your
porch, and make your garden inviting. In the summer, things get more
casual with a dock party. Sleeping spaces, including, of course, the
sleeping porch, are the focal point of this chapter. In the fall, cooler
weather brings a return to more formal entertaining in the dining room,
and in the winter, attention returns to the hearth, as Paula and her
neighbors put out their best silver and show you how they celebrate the
holidays.
Paula loves getting a peek at her neighbors’ parlors, so she’s included photographs of some of Savannah’s grandest homes. From the vast grounds of Lebanon Plantation to the whimsically restored cottages on Tybee Island, you’ll see the unique blend of old-world elegance and laid-back hospitality that charmed Paula the moment she arrived from Albany, Georgia, with nothing but two hundred dollars and a pair of mouths to feed. And she isn’t shy about giving you a window into her own world, either. From her farmhouse kitchen to her luxurious powder room, you’ll see how Paula lives when she’s not in front of the camera.
Packed with advice and nostalgia, Paula Deen’s Savannah Style makes it easy to bring gracious Southern living to homes north and south of the Mason-Dixon Line.
