American Modern meets An Affair with a House in famed interior designer Thomas O´ Brien´s newest book

---

Thomas O´Brien´s name has long been synonymous with vintage elegance, modernism, and warm, livable design, so it´s no surprise that his luxurious homes in Bellport, Long Island, have attracted significant attention. Thomas O´Brien: Library House captures the gorgeous architecture, interiors, lush gardens, and myriad collections of the effortlessly formal and classic home and design studio (The Library) next door to his celebrated Academy house. In describing the process of imagining and building this dream project - a new house that looks as if it had been built over generations - the book also provides a view into how the author and his husband and fellow AD100 designer, Dan Fink, live and work. Stunning original photography documents this incredible, historically detailed residence and showcases O´Brien´s keen design sense and his expert eye through a lifetime of collecting art, antiquities, furniture, books, tableware, textiles, and more. Including behind-the-scenes stories about the extraordinary property and exclusive insight into O´Brien´s passion for gardens, this new book is an obsessive design companion and an aspirational guide to living a beautiful life in a beautiful home.

"Surrounded by formal English gardens, the Library House combines Continental flourishes (a Dutch door here; a set of hand-painted Italian ceramics there) with a decorative approach reminiscent of an English country pile´s (that is, comprising a spirited mix of colors, textures, and bric-a-brac like a "bronze Grand Tour classical rabbit," or a pair of "Victorian, very special botanical herbarium fans with ferns"); radiating Old-World charm from every surface. O´Brien´s book, written in collaboration with Lisa Light, explains how he and Fink, also a designer, pulled it all together." Vogue
