I love books, I love to read, I love design, therefore I love design books.

I've rounded up a few of my favorites and If there's a book you love that I didn't mention, please share I love to add new books to my shelf.

The first is a book that I love, I come back to it again and again, the pictures are so well done and I love the vignettes and the layers of texture used.

(Nest for Two: Creating a Harmonious Home by Allison Serrell and it's currently 48 CENTS! at amazon.com)


This book really changed the way I thought about my home, while I didn't follow the cure, I did gain a lot of insight about setting up a home and how items we keep shape and affect us.

(Apartment Therapy: The eight step home cure by Maxwell Gillingham-Ryan)


Now I just wouldn't be me if I didn't mention Jonathan Adler. I love his objects, I love his book, tons of great design and fabulous colors and humor to be found in this one.

(My Prescription for Anti-Depressive Living by Jonathan Adler)

I love Pottery Barn, I love how each store feels warm and cozy and every bed begs you to dive under the covers. The Pottery Barn Books are books that I go through at least once every month, I get so many great ideas and inspiration from them.
(Pottery Barn Design Library: Dining Rooms, Work Spaces and Storage and Display/Pottery Barn Home/Pottery Barn Design Library: Living Rooms, Bedrooms and Bathrooms)




There's not much I can say about Scandinavian design that hasn't already been said. It's wonderfully simple and functional and original.

(Scandinavian Modern by: Magnus Englund, Chrystina Schmidt and Andrew Wood)


and last but not least a book that's not about interior design but the objects used in it. Compiled by the Museum of Modern Art it's filled to the brim with fantastic objects.(Objects of Design; The Museum of Modern Art)
