I ordered several new design books recently
and thought I would share a couple of them.
I almost always look through a design book at Borders or B&N before ordering it.
I have been fooled by a pretty cover before so I like to make sure it is a book
that will inspire me over and over in some way.
I LOVE this bathroom…
I absolutely adore the fireplace in there!
How decadent!!
Rooms to Remember by Suzanne Tucker
is a book I looked through at Borders probably 6 months ago…
I was in LOVE.
The style. The designs.
The rooms, the beautiful settings and homes…
all elegant, elaborate
(yes, probably quite expensive too)
but just beautiful.
Such a gorgeous bedroom!
I was not in love with the price…
So I noted it in my phone, checked Amazon and ebay and then
kept waiting and waiting and waiting for it to go on sale…
but nothing.
Then about a month ago Borders sent me a 50% coupon and free shipping…
I jumped on it and ordered it.
When the book arrived- I was in love all over again.
Love~ love- love this room surrounded in toile.
So pretty.
Suzanne has incredible style.
What can I say about this room…floor to ceiling windows… gorgeous chandelier
and window treatments… beautiful furnishings…
just incredible.
Here are a few other books I recently purchased and a couple more are on the way 🙂
I’ll share with you soon!
Happy Monday Everyone!

I can never have enough design books and am always interested in hearing about good ones! I really loved Barbra Streisand's My Passion For Design. I would also like to read Carolyn Roehme's book I see in your pile….and of course this one you are raving about!

Thanks for the recommendation, Courtney. I am going to the library tomorrow, so I will check it out! I usually do that first before I invest in a home decorating book. I still have not gotten a copy of Prairie Style, either.
xoxoxo,

Hi Courtney 🙂 I love me some design books too, but like you say, the price can sometimes be a bit scary…I'll have to go check this one out at the bookstore though, it looks so inspiring!

You've got a couple of my favorite designers there, Courtney; Carolyne Roehm and Cindy Rinfret. I haven't bought a new decorating book in about six months. Last time it was a few of the Nell Hill books. I'll have to look into these. I get Amazon rewards through my credit card and I usually use those to get my books or DVD's.

I love flipping through design books with a coffee at the Barnes & Noble cafe. It's a great way to preview the book before buying, and they're constantly sending me coupons as part of my membership.
