Interiors - Books

 I once had a book club and had a ton of books. Many books were gifted from new writers wanting our group to read their creations. That was a few years ago. When we moved, I donated the majority to a local charity. Since we have been in the new home, I have decided (after seeing so many great photos) that at least one section (outside of the coffee table) should be decorated with stacked books.
(Oops, I forgot I have my fashion books as decor in my closet.) I am slowly but surely building my design book collection. I'll use many of those once I have read them.  I found great inspiration in many of the photos shown here from Pinterest:

House of Fifty

   I recently found House of Fifty an e-magazine while researching interiors. The magazine cover definitely caught my eye. Honestly, the inside is full of great decorating tips sure to help both the novice decorator and the seasoned pro. Janell Beals, founding editor, decided to create House of Fifty as she was going to be turning fifty (the new fifty looks great - by the way!). She didn't want to think her best years were behind her and wanted to create her own opportunities. I think the magazine is pure genius!

     Not only does it offer helpful decorating tips, they have articles from contributors about entertaining, fashion and much more.Though we don't have kids, one of my favorite articles is "Decorating with Children's Art".  They have included how to do so and shown pictures. Trust me, this isn't the same old display on the fridge. They have been framed and....well, you'll just have to check it out yourself here.

  Another favorite article is about creating an eclectic room. I remember hearing Nate Berkus say that you should decorate by using things you love - not that they necessarily make sense together. When you do that, your room will be stylish. This article shows you how to mix those items together for a pulled together look.
