Jane Scott Hodges is an expert in the design, creation and use of fine linens in daily life. This entrepreneur and life/style authority is the CEO of Leontine Linens, which she founded in 1996 from her cottage on Leontine Street in New Orleans. Only six years later, Ms. Hodges acquired the historic Eleanor Beard Studio in Hardinsburg, Kentucky, one of the first (and still rare) American workrooms offering handmade, couture linens of a quality that rivals those made in Europe. Ms. Hodges’ book, Linens for Every Room and Occasion, presents her inspiring ideas, practical advice and visual inspiration for living and entertaining with elegant linens.
Her beautiful book is the essential book on living and entertaining with elegant linens-for every day and special occasions. Offering both visual inspiration and practical information, Linens is the ultimate guide to living and entertaining with fine linens. Credited with reviving the art of couture linens for everyday use, Jane Scott Hodges's contributions to the world of fine linens have made her a favorite of house and home magazines. As the founder and owner of her company, she has spent the past two decades studying, collecting, and innovating the world of fine linens. In her engaging Southern way, she introduces us to the art of beautifully made linens and shows how easy it is to use them to personalize your home and change looks and moods without redecorating. Whether your style is classic or modern, quirky or quiet, linens are uniquely adaptable to the way you live and decorate and the surest way to put your unique stamp on your home.
Throughout, the book also offers liberal doses of the author's expert advice and savvy insight on use and care, as well as contributions from leading decorators and home stylists. Replete with beautiful linen-filled rooms detailing countless interpretations of applique, embroidery, and monograms-and the myriad weaves and colors to explore-Linens opens up the possibilities of a world of decorating and entertaining.
