Book excerpt: Victoria magazine pays tribute to private spaces, special places where a joyful love of life thrives and every day offers a round of pleasures. With the help of the magazine’s experts and 85 exquisite color photos, a haven can exist right in your very own home. All it takes is some imaginative decorating and “emotional furnishings” devoted to your personal pursuits. For example, you might install a cushioned window seat for solitary reverie, keep a basket with stationery and pen at the ready, or showcase favorite collectibles that will delight your eye. Bedrooms and baths emphasize grace and light, with creamy linens, flowery coverlets, and gossamer-sheer curtains. Inspirational writings from beloved authors such as Virginia Woolf, Balzac, and Saki accompany the superb photos.

Book excerpt: From the Joint Chief Curator at Historic Royal Palaces and BBC Television series including Lucy Worsley: Mozart's London Odyssey and Six Wives with Lucy Worsley, available on Netflix. “Worsley is a thoughtful, charming, often hilarious guide to life as it was lived, from the mundane to the esoteric.” -The Boston Globe Why did the flushing toilet take two centuries to catch on? Why did medieval people sleep sitting up? When were the two “dirty centuries”? Why, for centuries, did rich people fear fruit? In her brilliantly and creatively researched book, Lucy Worsley takes us through the bedroom, bathroom, living room, and kitchen, covering the history of each room and exploring what people actually did in bed, in the bath, at the table, and at the stove-from sauce stirring to breast-feeding, teeth cleaning to masturbating, getting dressed to getting married-providing a compelling account of how the four rooms of the home have evolved from medieval times to today, charting revolutionary changes in society.
