Room For Children....Book Review (Via Made By Girl)

Room For Children published by Rizzoli is such a cool & inspiring book for those of you who have KIDS.  I swear, I instantly fell in LOVE with this book while flipping through it's 240 PAGES of full color!


I don't have any kids yet, but I wanted to share it with those of you who do! I'm sure it's a CHALLENGE coming up with IDEAS to decorate a nursery etc., but whether for a newborn, toddler, or teenager, the rooms shown here enrich the experience of childhood while inspiring with their imaginative design.  

You'll see rooms decorated by top designers like, Kelly Wearstler, Charlotte Moss, Alessandra Branca, Amanda Nisbet, and Thomas Jayne, among many others. How's that for INSPIRATION?


You can pick up your copy here.



It definitely makes for a great coffee table book with it's perfect size! Kids are so lucky these days to be exposed to such creativity. Don't you think? I DEFINITELY recommend this book!!

Lars Bolander's Scandinavian Design....(Book Review)

Thanks to The Vendome Press for mailing this gorgeous book out to me! I received it today & I'm so excited to share it with you.  Lars Bolander's Scandinavian Design by author Heather Smith MacIsaac, is a book dedicated to the global influence that Scandinavian aesthetic has on interior design. Lars Bolander, one of Sweden's most SUCCESSFUL interior designers has been creating the Scandinavian look in homes all over the world for decades! 
While you flip through it's 192 pages, you'll find he creates both classic and new looks, as well as bringing the traditional pieces into the 20th century, (which I love)!  He also offers guidance on how to achieve the Scandinavian look by incorporating the trademark elements into any decor. Highly recommended! 


You can pick up your copy of the book here.
















For those of you interested in seeing more, Lars has a few stores in the USA. One is located in New York City and the other in palm Beach. The stores offer a sophisticated mix of traditional Swedish, French, and British antiques a modern pieces.

House Beautiful Fabrics For Your Home .....

Remember when I blogged about the "Colors For Your Home" book here?  Well, I was sent this book (House Beautiful Fabrics For Your Home) by Sterling Publishing and I have to say....it's just as helpful & informative! It talks about how to pull the look of a room together by selecting specific fabrics while providing a mix of practical information & INSPIRATION for the home decorator (like me)!  


It also includes insider advice on how to THINK about color, pattern & palette. This, I admit I have trouble with...selecting the best pattern combos. They also have a great searchable swatch index you can flip through (very handy)....and lots more! I highly recommend this book! You can purchase copy here.


Do any of you own this book?? How do you like it?

The Design Entrepreneur Book

The Design Entrepreneur - "Turning Graphic Design Into Goods That Sell" book was always an attractive read for me. This book by Steven Heller & Lita Talarico, was published in late 2008 & I haven't been able to stop thinking about it! Of course, another book would always come up & I'd skip buying this one! But I finally purchased it from Amazon & I'm so glad I did! This red softcover, 240 page book comes housed in a black die-cut cardboard case. Fancy....


Anyhow, this book is ideal for graphic designers who are trying to turn their designs into profit. Is that you??? Selling your work/designs online is no easy task, there's a lot of work involved. Designers may be be natural entrepreneurs at heart, but very few will actually take the BIG step to become successful & make money doing so.

Within the 240 pages, you'll find interviews with design entrepreneurs as well as a great resource section. In the end, this book will provide Graphic Designers with inspiration. It's up to you, to take that inspiration & move forward with it.
