I am beyond thrilled to introduce you to this glorious book
Enduring Southern Homes written by Eric Ross.
Eric’s design philosophy is simple: your home should represent who you are on your best day.
A master at creating timeless interiors, Eric designs inspiring, beautiful homes.
John and I met Eric and his wife Ruthann on an antiques buying trip
in Italy. We had the best time, and felt an instant bond.
Not only is Eric fun, witty and charming, he has incredible taste.
He loves traditional design, believes more is more {layers!}
and uses timeless, classic details in every home he designs.
Last year, Eric and Ruthann called me to tell me that Eric was writing his first book.
And I’ve been eagerly waiting to pour over every page ever since then!
I knew it would be amazing, because, well, he is amazing!
Eric’s book is truly everything I knew it would be.
Filled with incredible interiors.
Eric showcases some of his most beautiful projects
and gives tips on how you can create your very own enduring home.
A genius at layering fabrics, wallpapers, rugs, furnishings and antiques,
Eric’s design tips will help you create a beautiful home with enduring style
that reflects the way you live, and your passions.
A native of Kentucky, Eric and his wife Ruthann live in Nashville, Tennessee with their daughter,
in their stunning home Boxwood Hill.
His Southern approach to traditional decorating includes a little bit of French country,
and a lot of Southern hospitality.
You will love this book, it’s filled with refined homes with a Southern aesthetic.
Real homes for real people, with tasteful displays of the homeowners’ personal collections,
blue and white porcelains, and everything we love.
Homes that Eric designed to become the backdrop to
all of the most important moments in his client’s lives.
With a background in custom furnishings and a penchant for traditional fabrics and antiques,
Eric creates home interiors steeped in the heritage and romance of the South.
The design of these homes range from French Country to English equestrian,
Southern traditional to modern farmhouse.
The one thing these interiors all have in common is
that je nais se quois that Eric masterfully creates in each of his designs,
comfortable, beautiful and personal Southern living with timeless style.
I’ll be honest, I can’t wait to read this book from cover to cover.
I want to go back and look at all the details and small vignettes
of each room. Because they are so inspirational!

Auto correct is killing me. It should read, I want to move into this book.
What a lovely book! A bit of Charles Faudree style, yet, his very own style. And I always liked Charles Faudree’s French style. Eric’s style is classy and comfortable, which is great! I would love to win a copy of his book. Thank you for sharing with us!
Lidy, I have admired the work of Eric Ross for some time. I love his traditional style and use of color, texture, and pattern. His designs are timeless, and that is my favorite decorating style.

It’s all gorgeous inspiration ??
Oh my gosh! I already follow both of you on IG and subcribe to your blog via Feedly. Thanks for the opportunity to win this wonderful book!
This book has amazing design inspiration! I definitely need help with layering texture. I followed Eric and I’m already following you! I enjoy the tablescapes that you put together.
Eric is finally a new designer that has taste and class. the last ten or fifteen years it seems there weren’t any new designers that had any idea about putting color or furniture together. Who knows what they were teaching them in design schools or college. Every picture I saw on your blog from his book I could certainly live in and feel at home. What a great new talent.
I’m all in for layers, more is more, and pattern!
What I find appealing about southern style is …the blend! The blend of timeless antiques, from colonial and federal periods through the country plantation style of hand made furniture to today’s dedication of fine quality southern furnishings create an appeal that cannot be denied. I also love the blend of chic chintz fabrics to the rustic hand woven utilitarian fabrics. Indoor or outdoor decor…all southern styling is perpetual and evolving in the “blend”.
Love the style of these lovely homes, I do see great talent.
Fell upon this by accident and oh my! Thrilled! I will purchase book! March 2021 or this past March?
Dana, last year. It is a gorgeous book!! You will love it!
Wow. Such charming rooms. Very elegant but has a homey feel. That is a hard task to accomplish for us novices ,he makes it look so easy. Beautiful styling. Love it.
would love to know the white paint used in this kitchen and family room (mantle). is it all the same color?
