Home decor books are not the thing I dreamed of growing up and having my own space to decorate, they weren't the things I registered for when I got married, and the first time I got one as a gift, I wondered... what will I do with this?
But now? Now I can't get enough of them, and am thankful for those gifts in the past. Home decor books or coffee table books are so versatile in home decor, but also wonderfully useful, especially when you're stuck at home in a never-ending quarantine. The only beach I'm visiting are the ones in this book, and I am reminiscing on last year's Italy trip (Rome and Amalfi Coast) through this book.
I use these beautiful and interesting books all over my home, also stopping to read them often (I use old regular books, too, especially favorites I can't part with). They were a big part of my recent shelf re-decorating process (the reveal is here) and I stack them on my coffee table and side tables here and there.
