Within these pages are stories of a dozen homes that reveal a rich layering of fabrics, wallpapers, rugs, antiques, and furnishings combined in a refined Southern aesthetic. Blue-and-white porcelain, mixing fabrics on furniture, statement print curtains, artistic wall groupings and tasteful displays of homeowners' personal collectibles star among Ross's signature look.

From antebellum, colonial and estate residences to new-build family homes and condominiums, Ross enlivens spaces that could be otherwise non-descript. He works magic blending his clients' well-loved furniture pieces with exquisite fabric combinations and pulls beloved treasures from family attics for new groupings on tables and walls.  The styles of these homes run the gamut from French and equestrian with a Southern touch to modern farmhouse.
