BOOKSHELF: DECORATE

I was so excited to learn last year that blogger Holly Becker and lifestyle writer, Joanna Copestick were releasing a decor book in April. I was even more excited when I got my copy of Decorate and saw how gorgeous it is!

My fabulous intern Mackenzie can vouch: As I thumbed through the book for the first time, the first sentence out of my mouth was, "How on earth did they find so many beautiful homes?! Each and every one of them is stunning!"

I've since had the chance to curl up with Decorate and am even more impressed after diving in. Not only are the images big, gorgeous, and inspirational, there are tons of fun and easy to implement decorating tips and ideas.

This is one of those books that not only looks pretty on a coffee table, but actually gets used as a reference over and over again! Have you had a chance to check it out, too?

P.S. Visit Bloesem tomorrow for more on Decorate!

RUE ISSUE TWO SNEAK PEEK!

Yesterday we leaked our second Rue Issue Two sneak peek to blogging sensation Holly of decor8! We were thrilled when we saw the fabulous little collage she put together with the images we shared with her. Hop over to see more!

This particular home is definitely one of my favorites from the upcoming issue. Though the homeowner has fantastic style already, I was fortunate enough to be able to help out by styling the shoot. The photographer was the one and only Emily Anderson and the location will remain a surprise :)
