Charlotte Moss Returns to The Skirted Roundtable!

Posted by on

We were thrilled to have the opportunity to chat for a second time with the fabulous Charlotte Moss who is our first repeat guest here at The Skirted Roundtable. You can listen to our first chat here.  She is, it goes without saying, an iconic interior designer, but she's also a truly inspirational woman. Her latest book Charlotte Moss: A Visual Life: Scrapbooks, Collages, and Inspirations catalogs her love of scrap booking as a way of self-expression and as a way of documenting her life and travels. The book also features the scrapbooks and thoughts on scrapbooking of some other famous women including Gloria Vanderbilt, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Pauline Trigere, Elsie de Wolfe, and SRT alum Alexa Hampton and Deborah Needleman.

The book is a visual feast for the eyes and so jammed packed with images that it needs to be taken in small bites and savored.  We also chat with Charlotte about her travels, photography, gardening and what's coming up in her fabulous life!











Please have a listen to the podcast and come back here to leave a comment about our conversation. We'll be selecting one commenter at random to receive a copy of Charlotte Moss: A Visual Life: Scrapbooks, Collages, and Inspirations for your library!


CONGRATULATIONS TO GLEN BAN OF FARRIN CARY DESIGN - YOU HAVE WON THE BOOK GIVEAWAY!

I love her books and her work. I am curious to know about her education and if she attended a school specializing in interior design.

Always a pleasure to listen and learn at the skirted round table, but I especially love Ms Moss. I am anxious to get my hands on this book to look at her photos of gardens and her travels. Thanks, Leigh Ann landgallard at yahoo dot com

Great interview with a great woman! I've loved Charlotte for years, and have read all her books from the beginning. She's so down to earth, and I love her curious spirit. I don't scrapbook per se, but keep tear sheets in notebooks for inspiration. Thanks so much for TSR interviews, they're fascinating. Looking forward to more!

Charlotte Moss is divine! I met her in Nashville a few years ago and heard her speak. She is as lovely in person as in print. I have her other books and would love this one!

Ms. Moss is a truly inspiring person! I have always admired her work but the SRT interview made me appreciate the person and passion behind her work!. Would love for her to do a book about inspiring women like you discussed at the end of the interview.
And many thanks to the SRT Gals for providing such a wonderful venue.

I was SO excited for this Skirted Round table as Charlotte Moss is truly one of my favorites.

I love how during the conversation Ms. Moss talks about one's eye and taste evolving....getting better over time.

I am a HUGE scrapbooker/collage creator so my fingers are tightly crossed.

Excellent interview! I loved it and I love all the pictures Joni has on her site. Charlotte's living room is my favorite. And i can't wait to see her next book, hopefully a book on inspirational women, she seemed to be passionate about it and I love the idea.

Thanks for 49 minutes of dreaming with the best!

I love this woman! She's so worldly yet maintains her very down-to-earth demeanor and knows what she likes. Very confident and beautiful. I would be thrilled to win her book; the scrapbooking process sounds fantastic and really has me intrigued. I had no idea the history behind it. I may just have to take it up!
BTW, I agree with you on the idea for her next book! Thank you all for the opportunity to hear more from this talent.

Thank you ALL for these lovely comments. NOW...turning the tables, YOU have inspired me to think about that book
On women. In the meantime, how about a lecture on them?
But, must not forget the gentlemen, I am working on an outline. Thank you, @charmossny

Charlotte has always been THE design icon for me. I even think the first design book I ever bought was one of hers (and yes, I still have it). So to be able to listen in to your conversation with her us a treat! Thank you, SRT ladies and also thank you, Charlotte.

This was an informative and interesting interview, as always. I've been creating scrapbook journals of my travels for over 20 years now, so this topic was of special interest and it did not disappoint. Thank you.
