Lately, I've been gravitating to books over blogs to get my fill of eye candy. I've recently purchased (or spent an exorbitant amount of time stalking at local book shops) the following:
2. Lotta Prints
4. Home (obsessed with Nick Ashley's simplistic take on home decorating. Read quote here.)
If you miss your favorite decor magazine, I suggest sitting down for tea with any of these books for some inspiration re charge.


















awesome list! I will for sure give these a look next I am browsing the book store (so probably tomorrow lol)

Yay for books! I've been really whittling down my online experience lately to just those people who add something meaningful / original. I'm surprised at how much that eliminates in one fell swoop. But you're a keeper! Hope all is well!

good choices. books seem to be coming obsolete for bloggers, so happy to hear you read and find inspiration from these.

Nice! I sure like Nick Ashley's attitude! Takes the pressure of me. I haven't got a perfect showcase home, but it can still be nice! Hey? :)

Makes you feel like you don't always have to spend tons in order to make a beautiful home...

How funny that you picked out Nick's quote, Chelsea - he's my brother-in-law!
