LESLIE SINCLAIR SEGRETO VIGNETTES

 

I like nothing better than a pretty design book.....and I have a new favorite.  Of course it helps that it has a beautiful cover [white] and it is chock full of incredible images....win....win!

Leslie Sinclair has a new book out that is a MUST READ!

After I got it I started flipping through [of course!] and landed on this page...

WHAT!  Are you kidding me right now!  These floors are everything and at that moment I was wishing that Leslie was my sister, cousin or BFF so I could play that card and get these floors asap!

Me:  Hi Leslie come on over for coffee....and grab your paintbrush"

Dying...

Before we talk about her talent can we just talk about the pictures in the book?

Kapow

I mean come on this puppy is filled to the brim with drool worthy images.  The kind that make you jump off the couch....start going in circles thinking how you can re-arrange your room to "get the look" and then sit down realizing that it would be impossible.

This paneling....

Hello sexy wall treatment.....

Shiplap with a degree!

Shazam.....this is a whole bunch of magic right here.

No words....

Just when you think you are a pretty good designer you see an image like this and it brings you butt down to earth.

I just landed.

Anyway....you get my point right?

What can't she do?  Well I don't know but she CAN do murals, plasters and wall finishes which her team of 35 artists complete and has been featured in Veranda, House Beautiful and Traditional Home.  

Oh yeah one more thing which I think is kinda important.  She is extremely nice.  That's a biggy.

Are you convinced?  Get it here

Cami loves it also.

That little leg sticking out just about killed me it is so cute:)  Seriously what a smoochie.....

It's Saturday and I'm blogging.  The whole world is topsy turvy.....what next locust?

NEW DESIGN BOOKS

I was cruising Amazon [only because they hound me with emails] checking out the "design book" section and saw some new titles getting ready to drop!  It's safe to say that we are all kinda obsessed with these guys right?

I am sure Steve and Brookes new book will not disappoint!

I do love me some Vincente Wolf!

 I miss Million Dollar Decorators....yeah I know the story line was weak but I loved to see them all talk about design.

I bet this one is chock full of great styling ideas:)

As I scrolled through all of those I realized there is an element in each cover picture that I would use in my own decorating style.  Interesting.

I also received another book in the mail that I am excited to read.  Kristy who is half of the blog Design Chic has written another one!  I can barely get a blog post out:)  

I read Dear Carolina and afterwards I started speaking with a deep southern accent that I couldn't let go of.  But then my husband said it was cute and kind of turned him on so I stopped immediately.  wink.

In other news....I installed some curtains in this gorgeous home [another Ladisic Fine Home beauty]!

This guy lived there.....

And....for some reason he did not like me!  WTH.....all dogs love me....I am just short of the "dog whisperer".   But not Blue.  As I was trying to take his picture he flew up and lunged at me [all 10" of him with that party hat on] and I jumped back like he was a snake....threw my phone and ran.  

I guess if you live on the east coast then you will have plenty of time to hang out at home this weekend.....snowmageddon is on it's way so make sure you are well stocked with wine:)  The important things.

NEW DESIGN BOOKS

Lord.....we all love a good design book.  If not just to read and look at the pictures.....how would we style without them?

I was cruising Amazon looking for things to buy this morning [checking out the sale today] and ran across a whole mess of books that are coming out in the fall.

Here are some I put in my cart for pre-order.

Love him.  He is not afraid.

This designing duo of Jesse Carrier and Mara Miller is new to me but after pursuing their website I am hooked!

Beautiful work.

No explanation necessary right?  Legend.

Timothy Whealon has a classic style which is right up my "design alley".

Duh....I'm gettin this one:)

And this one.  Emily Henderson is the bomb.  I love her quirky fun style.

I am eagerly awaiting this book from Lauren......below is one of my favorite rooms ever.

She has a very organic style which really appeals to me.

Who does color better than Anna???

This gallery wall....

Juliet Love is an Australian stylist and designer. 

And this one needs no explanation right?

So better go fill up your cart.

On another note I have some wallpaper for sale.  There was a little problem of ordering double rolls instead of singles.  Wonder whose fault that was:)

Anyway....I have 8 Euro rolls of this wallpaper left [they are double rolls 11 1/2 yards by 22" wide].  Unopened.  Retails for 176.00@roll.  I am selling for my cost of 700.00 plus shipping if you are not local.  Email me if you are interested.
