A Review: Interior Designer Charlotte Moss A Flair for Living & Gold Leaf or Paint - The Difference 

Like both but ,the gold leaf is my choice . 😊

I think surrounding yourself with all your favorite things is like giving yourself a great big hug!!!!

Thank you so much. How lovely you are to share such beauty.💗

No one can create a home like a Southern woman! Inspiring.

love❤❤❤

Very very beautiful… specially the frames. 💐Thanks 💐

Great Review. I am definitely going to look for this book. I like the gold leaf the best because it looks so rich. Look forward to seeing festival pictures next week. Enjoyed!

I can't believe you were painting upon that Gorgeous table cloth. I was just holding my breath!!!! Good Job, Mary! You are neat as a pin! love your videos..... I learn so much!

I enjoyed this review showing the talent of Charlotte Moss. She has an exceptional eye for detail. I prefer the gold leaf because it adds a beautiful textural quality. Thank you!🌺

Mary your pool area is heavenly. It takes me back to my visit to Bath, England.

Beautiful interiors . ❤

"A Flair for Living" is actually a great title for a Moss book. Ms Moss has a wonderful flair for details, which I think is one of her most admirable qualities as a designer. Great review... and it looks like a wonderful book. Thank you, Mary. Cheers!

I love Charlotte Moss style decoration ..... i admire her....she is one of my favorite designer.... greetings from Sonora Mexico

Now this is my favorite design style by Charlotte Moss! Love this book. Enjoy the Azelea Festival.

Thank you for such a wonderful video, her style is mine also, I appreciate all that you do. Blessings!!!

I enjoyed her philosophy. About groupings & being thoughtful & making guess comfortable, as opposed to trying to impress.

Love ur ideas for the frames. I will need to borrow ur idea for some botanicals I have that need framing. God bless, John 3:16🙏

Hello Mary, I have amassed quite a collection on interior design books due to your wonderful channel. I find your soft-spoken voice to be very relaxing. Not only am I glued to your explanation of these beautiful books, but I also look forward to your commentary afterward. Watching your channel with a cup of coffee by my side or that evening glass of wine is one of the highlights of my day!

Hello Mary, I enjoyed learning more about Charlotte Moss and her decor! Both frames turned out beautifully. This is something I have never considered doing and find it amazing what a difference a little time and effort can make! Have a wonderful day and I will see you in the next one! Hugs! :)

Charlotte Moss is one of my very favorite designers. A flair for living describes her style to a tee. So much great information is in her books. They read like she is setting next to you chatting! Lovely project Mary! Have a fun time at the flower show….I’m in Kansas, sounds like such a charming southern event🤗❣️

Hi Mary, this book is full of exuberant collections. Absolutely fantastic tassels!! She has a special touch and a very good eye on how to combine different styles. Like your project today. I will like to paint a frame holding a mirror and need something not too bright so will use gold paint. It's an old brown frame, very plain rather large that I found discarded in the basement of our NY apt building in 1982. Mirror is very heavy and of good quality. I think it belonged to a bedroom set. I have been debating how to do it and now with your simple instructions will try my luck. What color did you use in your project ?? and what type of brush ?? Thank for sharing this useful idea. Will get all materials when I go back for my yearly trip home . 👋

Great review of Charlotte Moss. Astonished she's not formally trained in Interior Design! Love the gold leaf! Excited to see scenes from the Azalea Festival, next week. Thank you so much for this fab video post. I look forward to them and always learn something new. All the Best!

Mary, this is an enchanting review of the Charlotte Moss book “ A Flair for Living.” Thoughtfulness in decorating and everything we do is a very important feature of a life well lived. I loved the idea of painting the picture frames. Your wall looks beautiful. Can’t wait for next week’s photos of the Azalea Festival. Have fun tomorrow. 💐💐💐💐

Me gustan mucho sus vídeos pero no entiendo lo que dice porque no hablo inglés, podría activar los subtítulos por favor?. Gracias!.

thank you I love charlotte moss This was a great video thanks so much.

Absolutely gorgeous

Haha, first to like! Making appointments and on hold and saw the post. Can't wait!

Extravagant luxe not for everyone. Definitely requires a one-percenters wallet. TTT reviews are always worth viewing, regardless of one's personal taste.

Veo este canal , simpre estoy suscrita y cada vez se aprende más , me apasiona la decoración , aunque muchas no tenemos esa oportunidad de estudiarlo pero aprendemos a vivir bonito con cada idea de los grandes diseñadores y está fabuloso ver cada detalle y elegancia ..saludos desde Hixson Tn .. un rinconcito de usa

And thoughtful and pretty things oh I love pretty things pretty colors and pretty

What joy...

Very nice ❤

Beautiful stylish design lovely book must try and take a look at it one day

A fabulous designer! Exquisite furniture!

Such a lovely book. I loved your gold frame experiment. How nice the Azalea festival sounds. I’m looking forward to seeing your photos next week. Have a lovely Saturday.

Great project for empty wall. The group of frame with pictures or flowers is good idea for any area at any house. The frames with gold paint or gold leaf leaves is wonderful idea to review our frame at home refresh our frame to keep them attractive.. Wonderful book. Thank you.. Enjoy this weekend with visitors. Please keep safe new covid..

CM is amazing. This is a beautiful video.

Thanks! Enjoyed this. Also appreciated paint vs. gold leaf. Had been wanting to give some bits and pieces a golden sheen. You've lit a fire under me to get started

Divino!!!!

I’m watching this again. ❤❤❤

Thank you so much for reviewing this book and demonstrating the gold leaf vs paint. Excellent!!!!

Looking forward to seeing your gardens! Thank you! I love to get inspiration from beautiful gardens.

Great review 😊, thank you for sharing ❤. Very interesting the technique with gold leaf 😍

Thank you for the art supplies for making Paint Pouring by aNicky James Burch. I did one painting when I was 8 or 9 years old. I gave it to my grandmother. It started out as a paint by numbers set. I can sketch, edit art books, but I am not adept with a brush, yet. I was surprised when I got the package. I thought I was getting your art, and I wouldn't have to work! I am laughing and quite happy to make art. I saw a sign recently, EartH has "ART" in the center. One day I will make the musical wreath with the circle from the pizza cardboard I cut out. I need to do something inspired by you, and not an exact copy. Thank you for all the inspiration so far. It helps. I have prints President Eisenhower painted, and the same frame with a painting from New Orleans on top. I enjoyed the gilding and painting of frames. I have never done gilding with flakes or strips. I once had a batik framed and the frame shop made a mistake and ordered a quite expensive frame and although it was a mistake, I have really treasured it. I am not afraid of painting a mat for an oil frame. I think it made a difference--although it was not gold. Where the veneer is peeling up, I want to put gold leaf on my Great-grandmother's buffet table. It is Queen Anne. It came from North Carolina. She lived in Minnesota.

thank you

Just bought the book on Amazon. Thank you 😊 Can’t wait till next time. Have a beautiful week!!!

I love Charlotte Moss work, thank you so much for the book review! I really love your side by side comparison, can't decide which I like most. But the ultimate display looks lovely!❤ Mary, I wanted to thank you again for your Marjorie Post book review. I visited the estate this past week, it was SO beautiful! The antique collection were just gorgeous, and the garden tour was a delight! They had planted 25,000 tulip bulbs! It was a fabulous added tour to our Alexandria VA trip. 😊 Once again, thank you so for sharing your book reviews with us!!!

Great design never grows old. This was a great book review. I love the short synopsis you give. I can always find time to watch.

So enjoyed this review and the craft project at the end! It inspires me to do something similar! Thank you!

elegance and taste.

This is way to slow

Beautiful!!!!!

Great book,I have several of hers just got new Flowers Book…….the embroidered fabric is breathtaking,but sadly I can look at pictures but not afford but that’s OK Can’t imagine 3000 in my garden ,good job on gold leaf💗🌿🍃

ДЯКУЄМО ❤❤❤🎉

Enjoyable as usual. I'm working on 4 frames with colorful pagodas from etsy and frames from thrift shopping adventures. 😊

Mary, I watched all your videos over the last week on every designer! I especially liked all the personal extra touches you include about your life, your family, your beautiful home and your cats! We love cats too. The music you add and your walking tours are so relaxing! I will be purchasing more of your craft ideas and books! Thank you! I live in California and want to recommend visiting “Filoli Gardens and Estate” in Woodside, CA. It is my favorite go to gardens. I dont think there is a book on it though. You might enjoy a visit in May 😁when everything is blooming. ~Jennifer

Cm😢😅

Thank you, as always, for your inspirational videos and ideas for making home more beautiful and inviting 🤗 Makes me want to visits your city, especially during the festival!!

And isn't it amazing how she uses books as ACTUAL books to be read, rather than the asinine decorators that shelve them spine side in as props without a purpose! Love Charlotte Moss. She's the real deal.

Love Charlotte Moss. Both frames looked nice. Thanks for sharing.

A great video on C M work, stunning details and so boldly beautiful. I also love how shared your talent creating a guided frame and to that I say more!

Thanks so much for this video, Mary! I was so inspired by it I went looking for the book and watched the video twice! There is nothing like being surrounded by fine, old, beautiful things to make me feel perfectly contented in my own home! Charlotte Moss has been a favorite designer of mine for a long time---I love her way of decorating and her warm Southern charm! Lovely picture frames---sometimes mismatched is even more of an interesting match! Happy Spring!

Can I have a cookie?

Gold leaf is beautiful!
