Danielle Rollins is renowned for her elegant touch. In her second book she welcomes readers into her world and shows them how to create gorgeous style at home in rooms tailor-made for gatherings, get-togethers, cocktail hours, dinner parties, and intimate suppers.

Traveling room by room through the house, Rollins shares practical advice and design inspiration. Drawing on her background as an expert hostess and noted designer, Rollins delivers a live-your-best-life guide rooted in the function and design essentials that keep a house beautifully humming: the primacy of a useful floor plan in creating spaces people actually live in and use; the necessity of organization for beautiful, stress-free table settings and entertaining; and creating vivid and happy color schemes that flow seamlessly from room to room. The book will also include more than a dozen entertaining occasions and tablescapes, including Easter brunch in the garden, a fried-chicken buffet supper, and a candlelit Christmas Eve dinner in the living room. With tips for a gracious life, from organizing your china pantry to setting a memorable table, this book is a celebration of the power of opening up your front door and inviting people in.

Esteemed interior designer Miles Redd, calls his dear friend Danielle Rollins a modern-day renaissance woman: decorator, fashion designer, and entertaining guru, and her second book, A HOME FOR ALL SEASONS: GRACIOUS LIVING AND STYLISH ENTERTAINING, provides abundant supporting evidence! Rollins welcomes readers into her world and shows them how to create their signature style at home in rooms tailor-made for gatherings, get-togethers, cocktail hours, dinner parties, intimate suppers, and holiday feasts. 

“Honestly, happy entertaining is also a habit, like making the bed. Have candles stocked, music at the ready, and cocktail napkins starched—I like to do it while I watch TV,” advises Rollins. “If you keep your house relatively pulled together, then someone stopping by for an impromptu drink or dinner doesn’t seem like such a big deal because you don’t feel as if you have to put on a show every time a visitor walks through the front door.”

Beginning in the driveway and ending in the backyard, Rollins travels room by room to share practical advice and design inspiration delivering a live-your-best-life guide that is sure to keep your house humming. From the necessity of a useful floor plan to creating spaces people live in and use, Rollins shows how easily a bright and inviting room can become the backdrop for any occasion. 

A HOME FOR ALL SEASONS also includes more than a dozen entertaining occasions and tablescapes, including Easter brunch in the garden, a fried-chicken buffet supper, and a candlelit Christmas Eve dinner in the living room. She includes tips on organizing your kitchen and stocking your party pantry for stress-free gatherings—and she even presents pointers on how to create child-friendly spaces that young partygoers will love. 

If you’re looking for a primer on how to run your home and share it with the people you love in a meaningful, stylish way—imperfections be damned—then grab yourself a cup of coffee—or better yet, pour a glass of wine—and get comfy. With this beautiful and inspirational book, Danielle Rollins promises everyone is going to have a good time!
