Books: NEW DESIGN & ENTERTAINING BOOKS
via
I love books and you all know that I am a hoarder collector of design books. Yes it’s a function of my business but I also just love decorating and reading beautiful design books.
While I was at market in January, I stopped by my favorite book wholesaler to check out what’s new in design books. Here’s a look at my favorite new design and entertaining books being released as we speak or in the coming months.
NEW DESIGN & ENTERTAINING BOOKS
♦♦♦
Patina Farm by Steve and Brooke Giannetti
This is the second book by the amazing husband and wife team. The book is filled with beautiful images of their private residence, Patina Farm and take you through their process of building and decorating this amazing home.
Modern Living by Barclay Butera
I love the design work of Barclay Butera. In his latest book, he is showcasing 16 beautiful homes that speak to todays modern living style.
It’s The Little Things by Susanna Salk {available March 15th}
I can’t wait to get my hands on this book. This book is filled with images of carefully collected vignettes and an array of beautiful design details that give a home its personality. If you love decorating, this is definitely a book you want to add to your collection.
Design and Decoration by Martyn Lawrence Bullard {available April 19th}
I feel in love with Martyn Lawrence Bullard on the show Million Dollar Decorators and have been following him ever since. In addition to decorating the homes of celebrities including the Kardashian clan, he has written a handful of amazing design books. His latest book features design projects that range for residential homes to boutique hotels.
Styling Nature by Lewis Miller {available March 15th}
Today, flower arranging isn’t just about placing store-bought flowers in a vase, it’s about creating stunning arrangements with a mix of beautiful florals and greenery. Styling Nature will give you all a look at the techniques floral designers use to create arrangements that are simply magnificent.
The Flower Workshop by Julie Michaels
And there’s another flower books you should check out too. The Flower Workshop book showcases 50 beautiful arrangements and walks you through every step of creating them in your own home. For a novice floral arranger like me, I think this book wins out over the book above.
Julia Reed’s South by Julia Reed
I was sad to see that there aren’t a lot of entertaining and party books coming out this spring but one to take note of is Julia Reed’s South. This book will give you loads of tips on throwing an unforgettable party with beautiful images of a variety of parties.
Another book I’m looking forward to buying is The Magnolia Story by the Fixer Upper duo, Chip and Joanna Gaines. The book is due to be released in early October and will share the story of the couples journey and how they developed their successful design business.
