Inspiration | Book Recommendation | Positively Chic Interiors
Happy 2018! I've been easing into the new year rather slowly. We've had the longest stretch of freezing cold weather that I can remember. We were actually excited to see a high of 30 this weekend, though it still felt bitterly cold with the wind. Today the kids are out of school because of icy roads.
I took the entire month of December off from client work and while I've started back up again, I'm still sticking to a very part time schedule. I need opportunities for gathering fresh inspiration and day dreaming so I can help others create more beautiful homes. While I will always favor effortlessly classic style, I don't want to feel like my recommendations become a formula. I want each project to be fresh and exciting for both me and my clients! Which is a very long winded way of saying design books are a necessity for me! I refer back to favorites often from designers whose work I admire. I just bought a new one last week, Carrier and Company's Positively Chic Interiors, and it's destined to be a new favorite. They have a pretty broad range of styles and I gravitate to those that are more traditional and cozy, versus streamlined and minimalistic, but there is plenty in the book that I love. It's a good one to pick up to get you through some lazy winter days in front of the fireplace! Here is a little peek...
