Dear Santa....


As a decor aficionado {that's what Margot Austin called me, and I am sticking with it!} a fabulous gift to find under the tree would be a fantabulous decor book!

Yesterday while waiting for my son, I hung out at Chapters and sat on the floor of the decor book section and just poured over books. 

Am I the only one who sits on the floor of the bookstore? 

Here are a few lovelies that I would want under the tree.

Santa are you listening?

A book full of photos of spaces with black and white palettes!!
YES please!


WANT.THIS.


Timeless classic.



Couldn't resist this book, the edges of the pages are an iridescent orange!

And a few other lovelies....

This isn't decor book but would be a perfect coffee table book.


And this one would also be so fun to have. 
Could stand to brush up on my manners.

What books would you like under your tree?

  2. I'm hoping for the new Design*Sponge book, Decorate, & The Perfectly Imperfect Home :) Celerie Kemble's book looks gorgeous too!

  10. I LOVE sitting on the floor at Chapter's- do it at least once a week. My list this year is 90% books so I can relate- I'd love Black & White too- my top book wish item is the new Louboutin book but she's tres $$.

  13. You are definitely not the only one who sits on the floor of Chapters in the decor section! You will quite often find me there on Sunday afternoons. Love these picks, and would add "Home Design" from the Nest.

  17. Ooo. What a great idea for a post. I hope you get (and review) The Perfectly Imperfect Home and Thomas O'Brien's book. I still don't have the Domino book of decorating. I think I'll place that at the top of my list.
