an interior stylist's library
Updated Oct 15, 2006
when you see photos of glamourous homes in glossy shelter magazines do you scope out what the homeowner has on their bookshelves? then this is your list. every volume i choose must have at least 2 of these qualities - engrossing content, beautiful spine or dust jacket, interest of the client, or irony. i always make sure to sneak in a few surprises too, that way you can find out which clients actually read their books. these picks plus great vintage volumes & you're camera ready!
