Would You Like to See the House?: Unapologetic Interiors Filled With Color, Verve, Oh And There's A Door On The Ceiling!

This book show decor in a single home. But this home is so well decorated the images alone fills it. Not much to read. Very picture heavy.

I kept checking this out from the library and finally decided I just needed to buy my own copy. I'm a huge fan of Lorraine Kirkes decorating style, though I think the person who did the photography on this book deserves a lot of credit, too. Let me start by saying Ms. Kirkes style isn't for everyone, but it suits me just fine. I love her use of color and composition, old and new treasures, and unique uses for common and unusual items. She mixes expensive and inexpensive very, very well. I could easily just move in to any one of her homes featured, that's how much her style speaks to me! Interestingly, I recently found the real estate listing for the beach home featured in the book and was fascinated by what it looked like in those photos compared to the pictures in the book (with all her things in the house and rooms). Several rooms were completely different than I imagined them from the book, because of the darker lighting and the cropped and angled photographs. It was an interesting house, but I think I preferred it with her things inside it! It really made it all come together. (It was fun though to look at the book and photos on the computer and do a compare and contrast!) What I also appreciate about this book (as I do many of my other favorite home decor books similar to this) is I never fail to notice or appreciate something I hadn't seen or noticed when I'd looked at it however many times before. There is always something inspiring to be found and taken away, which makes this book quite valuable to me for that alone.

A feast for the eyes..... if you like bland interiors, this is not for you!

Teilweise sind die die Aufnahmen so unscharf, gewollt oder ungewollt, es macht keinen Spass sie anzuschauen. Gerne würde man schärfer stellen wenn es denn gehen würde...
