Charlotte's Web might technically be a book for kids, but E.B. White's classic 1952 novel is just as entertaining for adults as it is for children — which is why we have absolutely no problem reading it for our kids every single time they ask. And it's a classic for a reason — the heartwarming tale of unlikely friendship has a message that will never get old. Charlotte (spoiler alert!) might have died right after sparing Wilbur's life by saving him from slaughter, but her spirit will live on in the book forever. We've gathered our absolute favorite quotes from the story...

Ms. Charlotte Moss, the dynamic interior designer, author, photographer, gardener, and philanthropist. It amazes me to realize we are now entering our fourth year at the Skirted Roundtable. Wow. Time sure flies. It all started when Linda Merrill approached me about joining her in hosting an internet talk show. I then begged her to ask my virtual friend and blogger Megan Arquette to come on board, because Megan had a way of making me laugh myself silly late at now while we texted each other. And, that’s not really easy to do. Of course, this was before Megan married Nick and all that late night texting ended because she now had better things to do. Too bad I didn’t!!! Our first recording was done while I was hiding out in the bathroom from my noisy family during a stay at a hotel in Ft. Worth. In the beginning, we recorded every week – and we picked two topics which we would discuss for just 15 minutes each. Things have really changed! Now, we don’t record nearly as often – because we try to book guests for a full hour. If memory serves me correctly, Charlotte Moss was out first “celebrity” guest. I remember being nervous as hell. We promised her the interview would last just 30 minutes, but instead we took the whole hour which unintentionally became our new format. If you would have told me back then in 2009, that almost four years later we would be interviewing Miss Moss again, I wouldn’t have believed it. But, here it is, another hour with the multi-talented Charlotte. She has a new book out entitled “A Visual Life” that is filled with her own lush photographs taken on her travels, and her personal collages. The entire book is really like one big collage – there are so many images to take in, you need to go through the book several times just to see everything. As usual, Charlotte was engaging and interesting and the hour flew by. I think you will really enjoy this one – she was relaxed and talkative, the best combination. Please join Linda, Megan and I as we welcome Charlotte Moss back to the Skirted Roundtable, HERE. And, if you love Charlotte’s style as much as I do, you will be thrilled to know that Doyle New York, the auction house, will be auctioning furniture and accessories from Charlotte’s personal collection. The catalogue has so many fabulous items, I even registered to try my hand at a few pieces. In the catalogue, Charlotte says the auction came about because it was time to edit, plus she wanted to do some redecorating. It was fun for me to match up pieces up for auction with pictures from her NYC townhouse, and it’s obvious she is planning a new dining room!! Charlotte’s dining room has DeGournay wallpaper and curtains. These two pagoda styled chandeliers are in the sale. The set of four French tole sconces seen hanging on the right are also in the sale. Doyle will be auctioning four panels of these De Gournay curtains – notice the lime green silk lining! Two of these gorgeous George III styled pedestals are also in the sale. The marble top console with mirror are up for bid at the Doyle auction. The mirror has five pedestals that hold small flower pots – so charming! The pair of porcelain urns are also for sale. Her gorgeous living room is getting an update too – a pair of these incredible Italian consoles are for sale. I’ve loved these for years and only wish I could afford them!!! The estimate is $10,000-15,000 – but I’m sure they will go for much, much more. Stunning!!! The chinoiserie urn underneath has a low estimate of $800. The large Oushak rug is also in the sale, along with the gilt pagoda and its nearby 16” lamp. In this photo, it looks like Charlotte has already made a few changes. There is a new mirror and the painting over the console is also a recent addition. I’m so anxious to see what she is going to do with her townhouse after the sale. Here you can see the former mirror and the two paintings that are no longer there. Such a beautiful room!!! Just can’t understand why she is selling those consoles though – I can’t wait to see what she will replace them with!! These large Chinese urns found in Charlotte’s entry hall are on the chopping block too – pictured in the catalogue with their white pedestals. In the entry by the front door, this pair of walnut hall chairs are up for bid. There are several guest rooms in the townhouse, including this one – with paisley wall coverings and fabrics. The painted tole lantern is an auction item. Against the wall, on the table is a painted terra cotta bust of an African child – available for sale at the auction. And, the red chinoiserie two tiered table is also listed in the catalogue. It’s gorgeous. Charlotte’s study is a beautiful room in blues and whites. Against the back wall is her desk and beautiful console. Photographs and prints of influential women line the walls. Her study really shows her personal aesthetic – there’s no room for minimalism in her décor. This is the room where she creates her collages. Want to take home a piece of Charlotte Moss? The pair of iron sconces are listed in the auction. In Charlotte’s master bedroom sitting room, the cream coffee table is in the auction catalogue. The top has a hand painted Oriental panel. Also listed is the small cane chair. At Moss’ house in the Hamptons, she used her Digby fabric from Brunschwig and Fils. Two drapery panels in this fabric are listed in the catalogue. Over the years, Charlotte has often participated in the famous Kips Bay Showhouse. Pictured above, her contribution in 2009 was this his and hers master suite. This photograph became the cover of her book: Charlotte Moss Decorates. Some of the furniture and accessories found in these rooms are in the auction. The Michael Devine linen curtains are for sale – four panels. This beautiful day bed with canopy is included in the auction. The gilt lamp shown on the desk is listed in the auction catalogue. The black marble topped Regency styled metal side table – sold as a pair – is also in the auction catalogue. Against the back wall is this vignette – the 19th century iron console is listed in the catalogue. So pretty!!! There are two of these white consoles for sale. Love Michael Devine’s mauve fabric HERE. The 2008 Kips Bay room by Charlotte was a pied de terre. Casual with wicker sofas and Pierre Frey fabrics, red was an accent color. One red lacquered low table is up for bid at the auction. Behind the sofa was this wonderful Louis XV black and gilt mounted bureau plat which is now available for sale! The dressing room of the pied de terre featured even more Pierre Frey linen fabric. There are four drapery panels in this fabric in the catalogue. Perhaps the prettiest and most well known Kips Bay room was this bedroom that Charlotte designed. The canopy bed sits in the middle of the room. The ottoman becomes the side table. On the right is a green skirted table and on the left is a chaise and secretary. Love the old books used as an end table. Flanking the door are two pink handpainted panels. The étagère in the corner is gorgeous! View of the skirted table. Such a beautiful room! This room was created in 2008 – and this chair, blue velvet with fringe, is listed in the catalogue!! I think it’s the only item from the room in the sale, but I could be wrong. See if you can find an item from this room that I missed. Another view of the blue chair. For 2012 Kips Bay Showhouse, Charlotte turned the master suite into a conservatory. All furniture came from her line at Century. On the left side of the wall, the triptych of 9’ tall, extra large photographs of Le Vieux Logis - photographed by Charlotte Moss - are in the sale, along with both the big and small birdcages and the lamp. The white tables, chairs and sofa all came from her Century Furniture line. On the left, the Regency styled library table is listed for sale in the catalogue. It’s a real beauty, too. The enlarged triptych photograph is so beautiful. Stunning. Here you can see the beautiful library table up close, in case you are interested in bidding on it! Also for sale is this Delft polychrome lamp. In the conservatory bathroom, Moss used prints on canvas from the Fables of Fontaine. Measuring 54”x41” – three are listed for sale in the auction. For the 2012 Holiday House, Charlotte designed this room. Several items are now for sale, including the blue velvet French bench at the end of the bed. Layered over the sisal rug is an Oushak, which I believe is the one that was in her living room. It’s also for sale. The canopy bed comes from Ms. Moss’ furniture line for Century. The barrel back club chair, designed by Moss, is for sale at Doyle’s auction. In the corner, the gilt fluted wood column is also listed in the catalogue. For a previous Holiday House, Charlotte designed this large room with a hunting lodge theme in sunny golds and forest greens. Two gorgeous gilt framed mirrors set in niches anchored the room. Next to the white slipcovered chair, the Regency mahogany occasional table is listed in the catalogue. Also, on the green skirted table are a pair of 25” antler candlesticks up for bid. On each side of the fireplace is this six-sided Bourne – which is available at the auction to be bid on. Additionally the cognac colored silk armchair is also for sale. Above the Bourne, the three light antler sconce is listed – as a pair. And another view of the Bourne, the antler sconce and the arm chair – all in the auction catalogue. On the skirted table, the smaller wood model is listed for sale. Charlotte Moss designed a model apartment which was shown in Veranda. The two Italian paintings, 20th century, are listed in the catalogue. To die for!!! The pair of 19” Italian painted and gilt lamps are also up for bid. Against this wall in the apartment are a set of framed dioramas. For sale, there are two similar sets. And more of the dioramas for sale. There is so much more for sale, but I couldn’t match the rest of the items up. You might want to see if you can match more items than I did. The Doyle New York catalogue is online or you can order one. Register to pre bid. I’m going to. I have my eye on a chinoiserie box. For more information on the auction, go HERE.

I think that Orange is one of those colours that is VERY polarizing. Either you love it or you don't. I happen to be one of those people that think Orange is a fantastic colour. It is energizing, it's juicy..... it's Orange!! I am sure you all know by now that Tangerine Tango is the colour of the year. And thank goodness Farrow and Ball came on board with their own Orange just before this colour was going to hit it big. They named it "Charlotte's Locks". Isn't that a great name?? Farrow and Ball I have to say that I think it is one of the best Oranges I have ever seen. It is so vibrant and warm! Love it!! Some of my favourite colours to go with Charlotte's Locks would be White, Black, Grey, Navy, Purple, and Yellow. Of course picking the right one always depends on the lighting in your place. Here are some great pics of interiors that have used Charlotte's Locks: Houzz How amazing is this gallery display? The art looks awesome with that great Orange background. The thing about Charlotte's Locks is that it is such a great colour for a feature wall. If you are too timid to do a whole room then try out one wall and add art like above. Or paint the back of a bookcase for a hit of colour. Houzz This great living room with a separate sitting area is by Judith Balis. I love her work! The colour of the feature wall of course picks up on the colour in that fabulous rug!! Would love one of those for myself!! Although it does not specifically state that it is Charlotte's Locks for certainty- it definitely looks like a similar colour. It has a similar undertone to it. Such a great colour with the ochre walls. HouzzHere is another shot of the same room. Look how fabulous that sofa looks against that wall! Farrow and Ball This pic from the Farrow and Ball website really illustrates how well Charlotte's Locks goes with White, Yellow, Black or Brown. It really needs to go with other colours that allow it to be the star. Farrow and Ball This is such a great example of allowing this great colour to be the star. By pairing it with white and brown, this allows the Orange to take center stage. I love how they have painted the wall in both eggshell and full gloss. Not only does this add interest but it really goes to show how our perception of that colour changes depending on the shininess of it. Ragamuffinnotebook Look how amazing this front door looks. It is such an unexpected colour to be welcomed by. It is so welcoming. Again it is allowed to take center stage since it is surrounded by neutral colours- in this case white and a french gray (maybe taupe?). Style at Home Again we can see how great white pops against this great orange! Style at Home Although Charlotte's Locks is NOT used here, it would look so great along side these colours. Jonathan Adler really knows how to mix. I know it's not for everyone but it is such an awesome and dynamic room. The one thing I will say for Mr. Adler is that he designs such happy spaces. I don't think there is a space he has designed that I haven't smiled at. The reason I put this pic here is to show how great Charlotte's Locks would look here. Instead of the wallpaper you could frame out a space around the headboard with stock moulding painted white. Inset in the 'frame" around the bed you could paint it full Charlotte's Locks or paint out some stripes. How fun would that be? The reason I think Charlotte's Locks would work here is that the brown that is painted on the walls is a warm reddy brown. It would also go well with the light blue that was chosen for this room. Makes me want to do something similar in my Master............ Houzz Again, Charlotte's Locks would look amazing in this bedroom. Why? It has a similar undertone to the colour that was chosen. Tangletree Interiors Look how fabulous it looks on this chair. If you are too timid to try it on a wall why not paint a chair, a table or a mirror- baby steps! EasyLiving Here is a great example of just doing a focal wall. Just enough to give a hit of colour without overwhelming the space. The Painted Barn What a conversation piece this would be! Just a hit of colour! Would look great in a room painted White or a watery bluey/green. The Painted Barn Although this side table is some other orange- a similar side table would look great painted Charlotte's Locks. The Painted BarnAgain, I chose this pick to show you how great the back of a cabinet would look if painted in Charlotte's Locks. Fancy GoodsLook how fabulous this cabinet looks painted in Charlotte's Locks. It is such a showpiece in this dining room. I love how well it goes with the walls- a light watery green. Such a great job!! Pinterest Charlotte's Locks looks great in this mudroom. It really works well in this setting with the bead board and that great Vintage Green bench. The hit of deep Yellow and black goes really well with it too! Real Homes Mag UK This is such a great example of using Charlotte's Locks as an accent colour. Real Homes Mag UK Can you imagine how great a kitchen would look painted in Charlotte's Locks?? I hope someone is brave enough to do it and then post it because I would love to see it!! I think an Orange kitchen would definitely fit well in a Modern setting. House and Home UK I don't know what colour these stools have been painted, but they would look awesome painted Charlotte's Lock!! Where the Wild Ones Grow Another great Charlotte's Locks Door. It looks great in this white setting. Sunset This desk looks incredible painted Charlotte's Locks. It looks so vibrant against the neutral (looks either white or light grey) backdrop. That great ikat fabric looks great next to it as well with its greens, browns and turquoises. Renovation Slaves I love how they have painted the back stairs Charlotte's Locks. It looks incredible. Without a vibrant colour it would be just an ordinary staircase- but now with painting it this vibrant Orange they have made this space extraordinary. Walnut Grey Design Charlotte's Locks looks great in this bathroom surrounded with all of it's white. It can really pop when it is against white. The following doors are NOT Charlotte's Locks but would look awesome if they were. I am putting them here as inspiration; Tumblr Again this colour works because of all that white! Source Charlotte's Locks would look great on a similar door with a great gray like the one shown above. Orange works really well when paired with a great neutral. Tuvalu Home This is a great example of a door that Charlotte's Locks would look great painted. For me the door would look better with a deeper orange- but that's just me! As you can see Orange really is a dynamic colour. A little bit really does go along way. That being said, painted on a wall Charlotte's Locks really does take center stage. I love this Orange! Now if only there was some way for me to work it into my home!! Have a great day everyone. Megan

Designer I Love: New York designer Charlotte Moss has just published her newest book, Charlotte Moss Decorates with the great Rizzoli international publishing house (my publisher). It’s Charlotte’s seventh book—and her finest. Rich with inspiration and ideas, tips and directions and insight, each page is beautifully illustrated with her interiors. The book covers basics (lighting, fabrics, color, scent in a room) as well Charlotte’s wide-ranging and often arcane and always fabulous inspirations. Charlotte Moss Decorates (in a great collaboration with the amazing Mitch Owens) is an essential addition to a design reference library, an instant classic. I recently had a great chat with Charlotte, who I’ve known and admired for years. Pour yourself a glass of chilled Sauvignon Blanc, settle into your favorite chair, and come and meet Charlotte Moss. DDS: Charlotte, this is your seventh book--and absolutely your best. It's full of the richness and wisdom of your experience—plus very pretty pictures. You say 'An empty room is a story waiting to happen, and you are the author'. You leave lots of space for individual expression and personal taste here! CAM: An empty room is an opportunity and that’s why I chose showhouses for this book. To most people, an empty room presents a dilemma – where do you begin? Which is what every designer is faced with when they begin work on a decorator showhouse. It is their opportunity to create a client. I think that client is always themselves, therefore decorators doing showhouses and anyone beginning a project is faced with the same empty room…dilemma –where to begin…their chance to tell a story. DDS: Your early life — your Southern heritage — shaped your unique style. How so? Is it about hospitality? A generous way of life? Family? CAM: Unmistakably. There is an ease of doing most things. And an instinct that is nurtured from birth. Sometimes I think I was born with recipes in one hand and garden clippers in the other. (Ha.) I grew up helping our mother set the table, with gardening, I learned how to sew, cut flowers, went in the woods to cut some more – made an arrangement. I just did things and didn’t really think about them. Family was a huge part with family picnics, a crab roast, waterskiing afternoons, baseball games, Easter egg hunts…fishing, fashion shows, you name it. DDS: You've lived in New York City for decades and are very much part of the design scene, the philanthropy world, the arts and culture at the heart of Manhattan. That informs your design. CAM: Yes, absolutely. I also have a country house, so there’s a very relaxed side of my work. I work on design around the country—Santa Barbara, the south, and townhouses in New York, or example. DDS: You're a great traveler. When you travel you go to antiques galleries and art galleries and new shops and hidden corners. For a designer, what is the best way to go about finding great things on these kind of design travels. What are your tips? How do you research? CAM: I read a lot. Magazines, books, online. I ask friends. I’m always gathering, researching. DDS: Antiques and vintage pieces are on your radar at the moment?CAM: I have three houses, very full. My fantasy is to fill a French farmhouse. Until that time, I need nothing. But when shopping, I always keep an open-minded with a roving eye. DDS: You're obsessed with fabrics. Current passions? CAM: I have always been fascinated by textiles since I raided my Grandmother’s attic when I was a child and got to play dress up with all of those marvelous outfits. I think some of my early memories are “tactile moments” – to texture has been very important. Yes, I am obsessed with textiles --new and vintage, and I am very fortunate to have the opportunity to create new ones under license. My new collection comes out in the fall with Fabricut. DDS: I love the way you've incorporated inspirations from the likes of Pauline de Rothschild, for example. CAM: Great women of style have always interested me. They are constant muses. Their styles are as varied as their backgrounds, all rich with experience, joie, curiosity and discipline. And peppered with eccentricity. DDS: Your book is full of ideas. On every page you have collages and drawings and sketches, and portraits, flowers, antiques, art, color swatches, architecture, art, paint chips, postcards, photos. It's so inspiring. CAM: What got reduced to an 11 x 17 inch collage board are fragments of paper, photographs, fabric, etc collected over years. Selecting takes hours, sometimes days – and committing each piece to a location can even be agonizing. What is adjacent to what – sometimes random, sometime ironic. It is more than a story board for a design concept, they are visual narratives. Once I begin, sometimes it’s easy to stop, other times I am hopelessly obsessed – and possessed. I want to make it twice the size. That will have to be another project. DDS: Clearly, the best way to be a good designer is to be voracious — to read hungrily and to travel courageously, and to rip pages from every magazine, and to be a vibrant collector and observer. To know design, you must learn and study and be open-minded and adventurous. Any other secrets? Tons of vitamins, I guess? CAM: You must learn how to restore yourself and your creativity by stepping away form it. By doing something completely different. And to be really good, you have to get outside of this business altogether. Get outside of the business of design. Travel. Study. Garden. Meet new people. Embrace new ideas. And understand what the world is about, the future, how we are all connected on this planet. HOW TO LIVE. How to think, and how to connect all the dots. DDS: Thank you, Charlotte. As always it is a great pleasure to chat with you...rather like sipping a crystal flute of very chilled Champagne Henriot 1976 Cuvée des Enchanteleurs. Dream destination for pure relaxation? CAM: The Seychelles and Bali have always been on my list. A trip to Bali had to be delayed and I can’t wait to travel there. DDS: Dream destination for culture, art, study, inspiration?CAM: I have my yearly European garden trip this summer, India in the fall. And I want to do Sweden in the peak of summer. DDS: Charlotte, I will see you there! Credits: All photography from ‘Charlotte Moss Decorates’, by Charlotte Moss with Mitch Owens, courtesy of Rizzoli, used with permission.
