    Last week I was very lucky when two great books arrived in my mailbox ... I had seen the first one "A Year of Mornings: 3191 Miles Apart" by the talented Maria Alexandra Vettese and Stephanie Congdon Barnes so many times on images in blogland recently and assumed the book must be awesome, but when I was holding it in my hands for the first time last week I was even more enthousiastic about this awesome and very inspiring book. It's on my bedside table right now and just before I go to sleep I scroll trhough the book and look at new images, they make me relaxed and inpsire me to make plans for something creative to do the following day ... the book is available right here and you can read more about the book here ...

The other very interesting book is called "To Each His Home: Inspired Interiors as Unique as their Owners" by Bilyana Dimitrova. This book is devoted to unique interiors, a tour of eight homes from free-spirited owners. Every page is full with decorating details ... houses that would be impossible for me to live in, but are supernice to look at ... Bilyana gives a fantasitc insight in the houses of extraordinary people ... more information about the book right here ...

Ohh thanks for the heads up, I'm heading over to amazon to add this to my wish list as we speak! Just looking at the pictures I feel better about my cluttered ecclectic home decorating already.

I love everything P A Press publishes. It's my dream to work there someday.

Enjoy your 'leesvoer'! ;) Both sound like wonderful books to flip through when you have some time left before sleeping (or at other moments!) I didn't know the second book yet but it looks very interesting... Maybe you can show some pages here some time!
