Join us for a celebration of Eliza Clark and Tim Trojian's new book, Foxfire Living: Design, Recipes, and Stories from the Magical Inn in the Catskills. Meet the authors; pick their brains about food, home renovation, and hospitality; take home a signed copy; and sample snacks from the book.

On a personal note: We spent our anniversary at the Foxfire Mountain House this year, and we had a truly wonderful weekend. We're thrilled that Eliza and Tim have distilled the essence of such a special place into a beautiful—and actually useful!—book that can be enjoyed anywhere. (Read our review of the book in November's Chronogram!)

ABOUT THE BOOK:

When designer Eliza Clark and her chef husband Tim Trojian viewed the property that would eventually become the Foxfire Mountain House in Mount Tremper, New York, the real estate listing was for an adjacent cottage; the teetering remains of what had once been a popular Catskills hotel was thrown in as a bonus.

Eliza and Tim set to work, radically redesigning the derelict property to create a relaxed bohemian retreat they called Foxfire Mountain House. The design and food of this transcendent inn is guided by nature, science, and curiosity, and informed by its rural location amid the bucolic mountains. Eliza and Tim’s eleven-room inn, cottage, and bar room/restaurant became an instant hit and a hot destination for urban dwellers looking for an escape in the country.

Foxfire Living now brings the dreamy, rustic modern style that is the hallmark of this special place into any home. Whether you want to completely redo your home or just make a few changes or additions, you’ll find thoughtful concepts and advice to guide you to:

* Discover—use the bones of your space to inform your design choices
* Gather—set up a design pantry and collect inspiration
* Evolve—allow yourself to stay open and curious as your design comes together
* Reflect—enjoy what you’ve built and share it with others

In telling the intriguing story of Foxfire’s rebirth, Eliza and Tim include thirty recipes and renovation projects that capture its spirit. Brimming with ethereal photos that are as full of wonder as the drive up the hill that leads to the inn, Foxfire Living is the story of paint colors, light fixtures, materials, and furnishings. But it is also about writing your own home’s story and creating a personal narrative that reflects your truest desires.
