Villa
Decor: Decidedly French and Italian Style
by Betty Lou Phillips
Hardcover: 160 pages
Publisher: Gibbs Smith, Publisher; 1 edition (October 1, 2002)
ISBN: 1586851748 |
| In her newest book, Villa Décor,
Betty Lou Phillips discusses how to mix styles, furnishings, inspirations, and colors from
different eras and locations to create the looks for which the French and Italian people
are known - wisps of elegance, hints of regal color, textures that delight and inspire.
Villa Décor illustrates the mastery of the fabled French way of melding the past with the
present so each is seen in the best possible light, as well as the uncanny Italian knack
of linking rooms effortlessly with patterns and palettes without detracting from the
furnishings or objects d'art, capturing a trend in American decorating. |

The
Wabi-Sabi House: The Japanese Art of Imperfect Beauty
by Robyn Griggs Lawrence
Hardcover: 192 pages
Publisher: Clarkson Potter (November 23, 2004)
ISBN: 1400050464 |
| Wabi-sabi is the marriage of the
Japanese wabi, meaning humble, and sabi, which connotes beauty in the natural progression
of time. To create a true wabi-sabi environment, one must slowly strip away excess and
learn to be satisfied living in the moment. The Wabi-Sabi House reveals countless ways to
introduce wabi-sabi elements into contemporary living spaces, including tips for
gracefully decorating with salvaged materials and vintage furnishings, advice on how to
rediscover the lost joy of hand-crafting household items (or supporting artisans who do),
and simple solutions for clearing clutter and blocking noise (even with a spouse, kids,
and no closet space). |

images, New Moroccan Style is a treat for the eyes, palate, and imagination, brought to

elegant lines of Minimalism or the mingling, sinuous Asian and Islamic notes in
Fusion—yet all are distinctly Moroccan. In chapters replete with gorgeous photographs
by Jean Cazals, Sully takes readers on an unprecedented tour through private homes,
stylish resorts, and intimate guest houses—many never before published. |
