Thousands of books on interior design have come and gone since the 1897 publication of this pioneering manual, but The Decoration of Houses remains, thanks to the insightful and inspiring advice of its co-authors. Before she became the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Age of Innocence, Edith Wharton was a society matron, remodeling a summer home in Newport, Rhode Island. With the able assistance of architect Ogden Codman, Jr., Wharton assembled this corrective to the rampant vulgarity of her nouveau riche neighbors. Wharton and Codman defied the excesses of the Gilded Age, counseling readers to reject the popular penchant for clutter in favor of simplicity and balance.
More than an engaging item of period charm, this historic guide offers examples of design rooted in architectural principles. Black-and-white photographs illustrate the authors' ideals of classic beauty, depicting grand ballrooms and spacious boudoirs as well as the elements common to homes of every size and era: doors and windows, walls and ceilings, floors, halls, and stairs. One of the genre's most important and influential titles, this volume sparked a Renaissance in American interior design, and its sound advice and practical approach remain forever in style.

Jerky
Set name: Variety Pack Pack of 3
It’s tasty but I prefer more spice. It’s dry not wet which I prefer. A little pricey.

They’re expensive, but they’re actually really good
Set name: Variety Pack Pack of 6
Honestly, these are expensive. So if you’re not picky or you don’t really care about your beef jerky, then you don’t really need this one. But if your pallet desires the finer beef jerky in life, and this is the way to go. I took a risk with it and I’m glad I did otherwise I would never have experienced this delicious taste before. I can’t describe it to you, just buy it and eat it and you’ll understand, but only if you really care what your beef jerky taste like, if you can’t tell the difference between amazing jerky and awful jerky and don’t worry about it
