Tripp Evans's The Importance of Being Furnished offers a fresh, important perspective on the interest in the past at the turn of the 20th century. In contrast to the female-oriented "cult of domesticity" of the mid-19th century, Evans explores the male-driven "cult of curating" that prized the individual expressiveness of personal taste in the bachelor house. Eschewing the Christian virtues of the nuclear family in which the home was retreat, he uses case studies to demonstrate how non-marriage freed some males to explore collecting and furnishing. This study provides the foundational history for the glorification of the bachelor pad in the 1960s, when the single professional man projected tasteful consumption and pleasurable entertainment through modern design and gadgets., "Decorating is autobiography," the artist and writer Gloria Vanderbilt once said. R. Tripp Evans's banquet of a book, The Importance of Being Furnished, magnifies her comment four-fold, forensically examining the lives and lairs--all of them now museums--of a quartet of tastemakers.... Gibson, Sleeper, Codman, and Pendleton's personal lives make The Importance ofBeing Furnished a rare read: a scholarly book that is also satisfyingly spicy., "Tripp Evans's The Importance of Being Furnished offers a fresh, important perspective on the interest in the past at the turn of the 20th century.

Synopsis
Exploring the fascinating lives of four gay contemporaries, The Importance of Being Furnished: Four Bachelors at Home traces the advent of professional interior decoration in America against the backdrop of the homes these men created for themselves. All now public museums, these fascinating sites not only reflect the intimate lives of their ......, Enter the private world of four New England bachelors, men who transformed their homes - now all public museums - into personal artistic statements. Exploring the lives of four bachelor designers, The Importance of Being Furnished: Four Bachelors at Home invites readers into the private worlds they created. Spanning the Gilded to the Jazz Age, these fascinating interiors not only reflect the intimate lives of their owners - men whose personal stories have, until now, remained in the shadows - but they serve as monuments to the Queer shaping of the American home as we know it today. Meet Charles Leonard Pendleton, (1846-1904), the reclusive gambler who built one of the greatest furniture collections of his age, all for a house ultimately built on sand. Explore the aristocratic interiors of renowned interior decorator Ogden Codman, Jr. (1863-1951), whose ancestral home served as a laboratory for his enormously successful 1897 manifesto, The Decoration of Houses , even as it transmitted his forebears' vices. Join the literary salon of writer Charles H. Gibson, Jr. (1874-1954), who made his Boston home a monument to personal ambition and his own, once heralded beauty - all while transforming himself into a campy caricature of his own "Boston Brahmin" class. And last, fall under the spell of Henry Davis Sleeper (1878-1934), the nationally recognized decorator who created his fifty-room seaside masterpiece, Beauport, for the love of the man next door. Fully illustrated with color plates and period photographs, this book pays tribute to Oscar Wilde's "gospel of beauty," a cause these men promoted in a dazzling range of styles. By turns poignant, outrageous, and inspiring, the stories of these "surprisingly domestic bachelors" (as the press dubbed them) reveal the complicated depths beneath their homes' brilliant surfaces., Exploring the fascinating lives of four gay contemporaries, The Importance of Being Furnished: Four Bachelors at Home traces the advent of professional interior decoration in America against the backdrop of the homes these men created for themselves. All now public museums, these fascinating sites not only reflect the intimate lives of their owners, but also serve as monuments to the Queer shaping of the American home as we know it today. Readers will encounter Charles Leonard Pendleton, (1846-1904), one of the greatest furniture collectors of his age and the first to create the "period room" in an American museum (a recreation, in fact, of his own home); Ogden Codman Jr. (1863-1951), whose successful 1897 manifesto, The Decoration of Houses, co-authored with novelist Edith Wharton, summoned his family's 18th century Massachusetts home - and the ancestral ghosts it contained; Charles Hammond Gibson. Jr. (1874-1954), whose domestic embodiment of the elite "Boston Brahmin" evolved into a camp persona that shocked this very milieu; and Henry Davis Sleeper (1878-1934) who established his national design reputation through Beauport, the eccentric home he created for himself, and as tribute to the man he loved. Fully illustrated with color plates and period photographs, this book pays tribute to Oscar Wilde's "gospel of beauty," a cause these men promoted in a dazzling range of designs. Readers will feel they've stepped across these once-private thresholds as guests - and as witnesses to the birth of the contemporary American interior.
