I am sad to admit, but I rarely have time to sit down and enjoy the books and magazines that I have at home. Ideally I would like to spend hours of my day with my nose stuck in the pags of lots and lots of inspiring images, articles, and text. However, these days are few and far between. Yes, to my dismay, my schedule is usually overtaken my task that somehow seem to take priority over “fun” and “enjoyable” tasks. Just this weekend, while talking to my Mom, she said to me as she was flipping through a design magazine from April 2009, “I think this is the first time I have even looked at this magazine. It came in the mail, yet, quickly found a nice place to collect dust beneath the coffee table.” Yeap, it is true! Last night, I decided to flip through a book I’d bought on sale at Anthropologie a while back. By the looks of it, I think the pages had never been flipped. The book: Dwellings: Living with Great Style, a collaborative book between well-known designers James Huniford and Stephen Sills. The express every aspect of style, show lots of pictures, and full of stunning design ideas!! Their techiniques literally touch on all the details!

“Capturing their unmatched understanding of atmosphere,
color, and a room’s sensuality, this innovatively
designed book will serve as both inspiration
and a reference tool for creating a beautiful home.”

Just saying, but this book is a great addition to your library collection!! Think Christmas is soon, or maybe you can score the $30 on sale for $7.95 like me!
