Carter’s newest book explores the desire to surround oneself with belongings that impart beauty and meaning. Whether it’s a collection of antiques, a set of childhood paperbacks, or a teapot gifted by a friend, this book is a tribute to valuing treasured possessions and creating interiors around them.

In these pages, Carter presents a variety of interiors, from a couple living on an island in Maine with objects rescued from the French countryside, to a fashion designer in Rhode Island whose collection of prints inspires her work and home, to a photographer whose treasured possessions include a photograph of his parents on their honeymoon.
