On The Bookshelf: New Design & Entertaining Books

New Design & Entertaining Books by ConfettiStyle

One of my favorite things to do while at the Atlanta Market is shop for design and entertaining books. I could spend hours in the showroom flipping through newly released or soon-to-be released titles.  I go in to the showroom  thinking I’ll order one or two new books and always end up ordering a few more:) Here are some of the new books I’m adding to my bookshelf and a few others I think you’ll love.

Happy reading friends!

We all have stuff and in The Stuff Of Life (release date Feb. 12th) you’ll learn tips and tricks for creatively displaying the possessions you own.    According to the author Hilary Robertson, “some people are magpies—they love stuff; finding, collecting, and displaying it—while their opposite, the minimalistic, are on a mission to contain or tame it. The ideas in this book will appeal to magpies, minimalist, and everyone in between”.

Dream Homes (release date, April 9th)–published by one of the country’s leading design magazines, House Beautiful, this book takes you on a tour of beautiful home across the US. Gorgeous photographs—including never-before-seen images—pair with advice from designers around the world on how to create your own dream home.

Coming off the success of her first book, Elements Of Style, Erin takes a more personal approach with this book.  The fully illustrated book is packed with advice, inspiration, and lessons learned about designing a home that reflects your personality and style.

On The Bookshelf: New Design & Entertaining Books

One of the things I love to do during the Atlanta Gift & Home Furnishings Market is to shop for new design, entertaining and coffee table books. It gives me an opportunity to preview the books before they are released and available in stores or online.

I’ve always loved books (a by-product of a mom who was an English teacher) and have amassed quite a collection over the years.  These days most of my book purchases are design and entertaining books so that’s what I look for at market.  And boy was I excited to see so many fabulous books scheduled for release in the fall and winter.

Here’s a round-up of what I have on order.  And to make ordering easy for you, I’ve included links (affiliate links) to all of the titles so you can pre-order your copies today.
