Especially interior design books.
I love to read them... 
Look at the pictures... 
And collect them... 
And I love to stack them. 
I recently recovered this chair seat, deciding not to paint the chair. I like it's aged finished. Then I needed a small side table so I used what I had, books. And I love how it looks. But now I need more books!!Help! What are your all time favorite design books?

An oldie but goodie is The Private House by Rose Tarlow?
ReplyDeleteDo you know it? It is a thoughtful, beautiful read.

I never buy them because they are sooooo expensive. But I love to go to the bookstore and get a coffee and a biscotti and just spend hours and hours perusing. Like your "table."
ReplyDeleteWow, Sissy, you have way more design books than I do. I've always thought I need a Kelly Wearstler. Maybe Hue or maybe an older one. I can't see which ones you have and which you don't, but one of the most unique I have is Jacques Grange Interiors. It's oh so French and oh so different than my style, but that's what I love about it. It challenges me!
ReplyDeleteOh, and my favorite is probably Celerie Kemble - To Your Taste. I just love her style!
ReplyDeleteI'm completely in awe of your extensive collection...so many more than I have...seems like I need to get over to Amazon and start purchasing some!
ReplyDeleteWe are both on the same page it seems. I had a book dilemma last week and am still confused about how to set it up. Help me!...see my Before and After at empressoftheeye.blogspot.com.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! I love books and magazines. Definitely my two weaknesses! Recently, I've been rereading my Nate Berkus favorite!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!

Love the stacks of books! I'll have to keep these ideas in mind when my books get out of control...which could be quite soon!
