ke, this inspirational book, is a practical how-to guide to infuse your personal spaces with wonder and whimsy!
Disney theme parks are immersive environments--part living museum, part botanical garden, and part interactive art exhibition. Most of all, they're places to find inspiration to enhance everyday life. Sprinkled throughout these parks are visual cues and vignettes with ingenious ideas. Sparks of design brilliance are everywhere. From the way the edible landscaping is arranged in
Tomorrowland to the use of ornate Victorian wallpaper in the foyer of the
Haunted Mansion, there are so many ways to bring the magic home.
As mix of Disney history, interior design, garden design, and DIY project studies, this visually detailed coffee table book charts how to infuse your personal spaces with the wonder and whimsy found at Disneyland and Walt Disney World . It also looks at those who created the elements that serve as our muse: Walt Disney Imagineers--both past and present--who mostly work discreetly behind the scenes, shrouded in mystery. In this peek behind the curtain, find out more about their special brand of magic. Inside, look for:
- Each chapter as dedicated to a theme based on select attractions from around the theme parks
- Original concept artwork from the Walt Disney Imagineering Art Collection
- Interviews and photographs from families, such as those behind a Haunted Mansion bathroom and a Small World nursery
- Sidebars ranging from the types of edible plants used in landscape design at Tomorrowland to Lilian Disney's interior design efforts in Walt Disney's Disneyland Apartment.
- Tips on how to bring a bit of Disney magic into your own environments
This is a gift that Disney collectors, theme park fans, and anyone interested in bringing a little Disney magic into their lives will love.
