At Home Sarah Style is a very colorful book with many beautiful pictures on decorating urban spaces to country cottages.  Her style ranges from casual elegance to her designs inspired by nature.  I especially enjoyed looking at the pictures in this book.  A big bonus to this book is the recipes included in the back.

Decorating With Books by Marie Proeller Heuston

Decorating With Books by by Marie Proeller Hueston, 143 pages

House Beautiful published this beautiful book on decorating your house with books.  This book contains beautiful pictures of different rooms in the house and how the books are displayed.  Books are in every room in the house.  Books are on shelves, on tables, on the floor, and on the fireplace mantel. The books are tastefully displayed almost like works of art.  I guess the new use for books are as end tables or bedside tables.  Or, for a more uniform look, you can cover all your books in the same color.  I had trouble letting go of this book.  I wanted to keep it forever!
