Friday Book Blogging

I really can't get behind a book this week. I did read a couple, but my head's been trying to wrap around my first real interior design project for someone who isn't related to me! (I've already done all the rooms in our house --a few more than once-- and tackled a couple of relatives' homes.) As a result of this new commission (alas, unpaid) I have been flitting from design book to design book to old issues of House Beautiful, Architectural Digest, Elle Decor, etc. looking for ideas that can be twisted into a reasonably-priced redecoration of a living room/dining room in a suburban home. I have spent hours looking at fabrics online and shopping lighting, occasional tables and rugs.
All of this is to say that I'll recommend my favorite design book, New Classic Style, but unless you love interior decorating, you'll not be impressed.
