Blogging for inspiration is wonderful, but nothing beats sitting in a comfy chair with a beautiful decorating book. Large, clear images in true color and the feeling of the thick glossy pages as you thumb through again and again to find your favorite image.
I recently purchased the Romantic Style book (by Selina Lake, Sara Norrman, & photographed by Debi Treloar) and I absolutely love it! The second I opened it and had a quick glimpse, I was immediately thrilled with my purchase.
Here's a little peek inside:
Pictures below are from Powder Blue's home, which is featured through out Romantic Style.
