Sigh! Dreamy book alert! I received a beautiful new book from the team at House Beautiful, and I can’t help but tell you about it. I’m too attached to this copy to give it away, so if you want one, you’ll need to pick up your own—maybe ask Santa. I did try to secure a giveaway copy because I thought of you, but my efforts didn’t pan out. Still, this book is worth sharing about if you’re shopping for a gift or treating yourself.
THE HOME BOOK is published by House Beautiful, one of my favorite sources for home inspiration. It’s a practical, beautiful guide to decorating that offers helpful advice, fresh ideas, and gorgeous photography—truly a coffee table book you’ll want to keep on display. Inside this elegant hardback you’ll find:
- environmentally friendly decorating options
- hundreds of inspiring design examples for every room
- smart planning guidance based on site, light, and layout
- creative concepts and styling advice from today’s top designers, including how to build a cohesive look using theme, color, and furnishings
The book offers both design guidance and visual inspiration, making it useful whether you’re starting a major project or simply refreshing a room. The photography is beautiful and the practical tips are clear and easy to apply. Considering the quality and scope, the price is very reasonable for a hardcover volume.
If you’d like to get a copy, you can purchase one from your favorite bookstore or online. I’m just a fan sharing something I love—I couldn’t keep quiet about it. If you happen to visit, you’re welcome to borrow my copy as long as you promise to bring it back.
