Okay – this is really sad – but the last home decorating book I purchased was the Trading Spaces book! I am now completely embarrassed – although I got some good ideas from it! I would love to win some new inspiration!
The home decorating books in my living room book shelf are:
The Family Home, Joanna Copestick, which I love for it’s laid back and practical style
The Spirit of Loveliness, Emilie Barnes, which explains the benefits of a beautiful thought out home
Style at Home, Nell Hill, which has lovely pictures

I love so many books and I love decorating with books as well. One of my favorite design book are Junk Chic and French Country Junk Chic by Kathryn Elliott. She shows how to create one of a kind looks with unusual thrift store finds and paint treatments.
Hi Victoria,
I saw your old post from January. I , too, am a huge junk chic fan. I have tried many of Kathryn’s ideas. In her book, after she moved to West Linn, OR — she had a beautiful stone “fireplace” fountain in her yard. I tried writing to the publisher to get some help on how to build the fountain itself, but no response. I did find a vintage fireplace fender or apron on ebay. I was hoping maybe one of your followers could offer some help w/ the fountain, measurements, etc.
Much thanks,
Love the blog,
Donna in Memphis
My previous comment made no sense. I meant to say two of my favorite design books are…, etc. Sorry for the discombobulated comment!
I love Candace Olson’s design book because the rooms are gorgeous, the pictures are inspiring!!

I don’t really have a favorite decorating book yet, I’m kinda new at this decorating thing. First house and all…. But I would love to get my hands on the Pottery Barn idea books. They seem to be a design staple for kicking off DIY ideas. Thanks!
My current loves are PB and domino, although I am finding great inspiration from Melissa’s archives. I really appreciate beautiful, timeless design!
