Books Do Furnish A Room by Leslie Geddes-Brown
The title of this book alone.... stretched across the page drew me in! This book reveals how books can enhance the look & atmosphere of any home. It talks about different ways of arranging as well as stylish storage & lighting solutions. My favorite part was the tips it provided on how to combine books with other objects in the home - giving it some added interest!

Glamorous Rooms by Jan Showers
with foreword by Michael Kors.
I'm still WAITING for the arrival of 3 or 4 more books. They really put me in a good mood and of course I love to share these titles with all of you! If you're shopping for coffee table books, I'd definitely recommend either of these.

And to my surprise, look what was peeking under the Glamorous Rooms jacket cover !! Don't you just love this faux leopard print? Very CHIC!

Are you fascinated with books too? Do you have any of these? I'm a real SUCKER for interior design books, especially if it has an appealing photo on the cover! The Glamorous Rooms cover really did it for me, I had to get it for my collection!

ReplyDeleteYes, they can get a bit pricey. I have found that you can get used or new ones on Amazon for much cheaper though...than in bookstores. I have "My French Life" that's a fantastic book too! oxox!
oh yes. it is my biggest weakness. i have tons of them. i need to get glamorous rooms..looks delicious!
ReplyDeletei agree with alaina My French Life is awesome.
In fact, my favorite books are always french.
Paris Interiors by Taschen ROCKS!
i have the glamourous homes book..love it.
ReplyDeleteIt's one of my weaknesses also....just can't help buying them!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you .. that glam rooms is a winner ! best le
ReplyDeleteBooks Do Furnish a Room is ON MY LIST!! Love it!
ReplyDeleteOK, so clearly I am not alone in this moment of weakness!!
ReplyDeleteI curently stack books on the top of an all too small freestanding bookcase, on the floor... I love 'em too, and just designed a new bookcase to be installed in my house, actually, it will be a libary wall. Pictures to come in a later blog entry, hope you will check it out someday.

ReplyDeleteYou should definitely share a link with me when it's all done... :))
i love interior design books. i have a lists of books to buy and will have to add these to the list. thanks for sharing ^_^.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, my weakness too. Right now I'm loving and reference Downtown Chic by the team from Sixx Design. It's fantastic. I've heard rumor they're going to have a TV show on Bravo.
ReplyDeleteI almost bought 'books do furnish a room' last week!
ReplyDeletewill check later in the store again! =)
LOVE design books! Have Glamorous Rooms, but haven't had the time to read it yet - now I need to find it and tear off the dust cover! It's definitely going on display :D
ReplyDeleteI love More is More by Hutton Wilkinson. It can be a little OTT. But shows some serious creative genius at work. Not to mention the forward is by John Galliano so you start of reading on a fabulous foot.
ReplyDeleteI am getting the Jan Showers book today! I love that cover and agree they can get expensive, but you will have them forever. I collect interior design books and refer to them all the time. It's great to have resources right at your finger tips when you need them. Wonderful blog too!
ReplyDeleteI'm terrible with design books - I lug tonnes of the things back from charity shops and TK Maxx and have them stacks to hip height in my hallway! But they're so pretty...!
ReplyDeletethe glamorous homes book is the bomb! i am a sucker for interior design books as well. design is my life. :+)
ReplyDeleteOh, those books look awesome! And I don't even know that much about interior design, so they'd probably be extra helpful to me!
ReplyDeleteGreat post!
My newest book and one of my faves is Pattern by Tricia Guild. It has beautiful photographs!
ReplyDeletethat leopard cover is too much! and i am a big believer in the decorating impact of books — i'll have to check that one out! thanks for all the suggestions!
ReplyDeleteI am obsessed with the library, where the books are free and don't clutter my life after I've read them! I can even check out books I've already read. Amazing.
ReplyDeleteBeatiful Blog!!!!
ReplyDeleteVery nice pictures!!!!
Kisses :)

i love buying interior books too!!! i get mine from Book Depository fromt the UK - free shipping to australia! (and worldwilde)
ReplyDeleteI love Interior Design books! They're my weakness too, as it seems I'm not alone. :-) Monochrome was on my Christmas Wish List but I didn't get it, so I may have to purchase it soon. Glamorous Rooms was on there too. Wow, do I see some shopping in the future?? :-)
ReplyDeleteI will have to check out Amazon for those books!
ReplyDeleteI use mine by creating a pile and standing my coffee on them - sacrilege?
ReplyDeletei love interior design books, but i try to resist buying more. they seem to become a bit outdated after a few years. but my bf has bought one for me at barnes & noble each time he's been travelling to the us; it's become a bit of a tradition that i cherish =)
ReplyDeleteOMG!! I LOVE a design book. They, too, are my weakness!!!!
ReplyDeleteCute cover on the first book :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome. I like your style. Yes - they are just so costly!
ReplyDeleteHello
ReplyDeleteBooks are too my weakness, could not control myself to see your lovely collections.
I'm glad to follow you...
Have good day.
