When searching for decorating books, I immediately went to your site. I know you had these suggestions from 2009 … any new ones that you’ve enjoyed reading since this post two years ago? Perhaps it’s time for another one of these posts! I’m sure people would love it and offer their own suggestions! I’m getting Domino in the mail tomorrow and can’t wait to read it!

Thanks!!

I had coffee with Nate Berkus tonight :)

Sam gave me a “Mama’s Night Out” and I headed over to the local bookstore, grabbed a decaf, and a copy of Nate’s book. I had my design notebook along, too, and generally had a lovely time jotting down notes and sketching little ideas :) Thanks for the recommendation! And, for what it’s worth, I *loved* NB’s book and felt like there was plenty to glean, especially since we’re starting from scratch in this house. Oh, and I’ve been enjoying The Home Book, too :)

Thanks!!!!

I have books #3 and #7. I was thinking about the Nate Berkus one but was not sure but based on your comments I will go ahead and get it. I have to say that my all time favorite is the Domino one. I can’t get enough of it. Just talking about it is making me sad again. Snif! Snif!

I really like the Apartment Therapy book, as well as The Nest Home Design Handbook. They’re both so gorgeous, glossy, and colorful! The first design book I ever got was Better Homes and Gardens’ The New Decorating Book. It comes in a newlywed edition, which was super fun because it talks about practical decisions for when you are just getting started as a household.

The domino book has been on my wish list for a while now, it might be time to order it. :) And I’m glad someone posted about Jonathan Adler’s book. I’ve been curious about it, so I’ll have to check that out, too.

I have a couple of the books on your list, but the cover of Houses: Inside and Out makes me want to rush and get it!

Don’t forget about this one: [the nest] Home Design Handbook. I absolutely love this book and swoon over its pictures regularly.

Overstocks.com is a GREAT place to order books at too. They are usually less than Amazon & the shipping is always a bargain.

I will have to check these out.

i also love jonathan adlers book like mentioned above, and the nest home design handbook (lots of good images of more modern rooms and some good tips).
