BOOKS SMOOKS

Some of the most stunning interiors can be created with the best old….ehem, I mean vintage finds.  However, you must be careful!  There is quite a difference between “Vintage” and “Plan ol’ Old" (more on that topic in an upcoming post).
 
Now moving on………two individuals and their books in particular, have my attention when it comes to using vintage to complete their awesome visions.
 
Let's chat about Vintage Remix by Kishani Perera.  Kishani displays how to seamlessly combine vintage with modern furnishings.  She is also the owner of Rummage, a furniture boutique in L.A.   Her design aesthetic is great.  I catch myself in a focused daze attempting to salute all the important little details that bring about a cohesive design.  Bravo Kishani!

Then the very pleasant surprise from Lara Spencer of Good Morning America.  I caught her show on HGTV’s,  I Brake for Yard Sales.  By the end of the show, I catch a glimpse of her book by the same title place neatly on her girlfriend’s end table (Yay for the shamless plug!).  Again, a very pleasant surprise regarding her skill level of interior design and incorporation of vintage and thrift finds.  Go Lara!

Both books were released earlier this year, but they still have great photos for your viewing pleasure.  Still inspiring.  Enjoy!

Until next time……….
