Hello Friends! How’s your week going?
Were you inspired the other day with the great images of Book displays? As promised here’s a few shots of how I keep most of my books…. Stacked on an old trolley cart I got at an Antique Market. I think this is a little more interesting than a keeping them organized on a bookshelf!
I really do Love Design Books…. they are just one of those things that make me happy! I enjoy perusing the Internet and looking at images, however there is just something about flipping through a book or magazine that the Internet will never have.
Here’s a list of my 10 favorites from my collection…
1. The Way We Live: An Ultimate Treasury for Global Design by Stafford Cliff
2. American Modern by Thomas O’Brien
4. Recycled Home by Mark and Sally Bailey
5. Suburban Nation: The Rise sprawl and the Decline of the American Dream by Andres Duany, Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk, and Jeff Speck
6. Old & New by Katherine Sorrell
7. Rooms to Inspire in the Country by Annie Kelly
8. Coastal Style by Sally Haden & Alice Whately
9. At Home with White by Atlanta Bartlett
10. Building with Reclaimed Materials by Wim Pauwels (Beta Plus publishing)
So do you have any favorite design books? I would love to hear from you and learn what I need to add to my collection.
Enjoy your day!
If you don’t already own it, head out to your local book store, pick up a coffee, find a comfy chair and be inspired! You will have just completed a global trip around the world, saw some amazing places, and not just of wonderful spaces, but beautiful people and how they live.
