Lauren Liess' Habitat The Field Guide to Decorating Book Review
Let me fill you in on a little something about me.I have an addiction.I'm seriously addicted to interior decorating and design books.I've had to create a hard rule for myself. I'm not allowed to buy a new decorating book until I finish the last one I bought. I can't help it! I love to learn about new styles, be inspired by gorgeous interiors and peek inside the creative minds of interior designers and decorators.I read every word, take notes and stare at every photo for creepy amounts of time.I stumbled across Lauren Liess' blog 'Pure Style Home' before I ever heard about the book she wrote. It was then that I fell in love with her aesthetic. I loved the natural and earthy vibe I got from her style, it's classic without being too formal.Lauren Liess loves the outdoors and in her words "likes things simple, relaxed and natural..." She loves creating a strong sense of place with architectural character in homes.Lauren designs the kind of spaces you imagine yourself cuddling up with a comfy blanket, a good book (uhhhh, maybe hers?) and enjoying a glass of wine (or two) in.So, the second I was allowed (I have a rule now, remember!), I hit up Indigo to grab my copy of her book Habitat The Field Guide to Decorating. It certainly did not disappoint, learn more in this video about why I loved it!If you watched the video than you know, this book is my absolute fave right now! The second I got it and started flipped and checking out the interiors featured throughout I was blown away.What I find the most interesting, is that it's not the typical aesthetic I gravitate towards, which I think is why I enjoyed it that much more.I mean, come on. I'm not even into the book and it's already mind-blowing.
And then this. #wowsahs
And the gorgeousness goes on and on my friend.
On and on.
Oh, and you know what else? I posted one of her interior photos on my Facebook page, tagging her in it. And she liked it.She.Liked.It.You can see the image I posted here (and you'll likely see her name, beside the like)! You should probably like my Facebook page while you're at it. ;)What's your favourite interior design book? Let me know in the comments!
