The (new) home decor bible

I know I promised book club this week, but the truth is I am still reading my book club book...it is absolutely amazing so far, but I don't want to talk about it yet, just incase it doesn't finish as well as it has started.

But in the meantime I have a little something for you. The best. home. decor. book. ever.

It is.......Spaces.
Spaces by frankie magazine
Have you seen it already? Am I late on the scene? Tell me.

The 255 page book (I tell you how many pages it is because in this instance it matters - you never want this book to end, and happily it takes quite a while before it does!) has been put together by those oh-so-very clever folk at Frankie Magazine in Australia.

Each picture is packed with so much delightful detail that the book needs (many) repeat viewings.

It's just amazing. If you haven't found it already, then do. Really.

And then this one comes along ....Pia Jane Bijkerk

In my last post, I commented on the plethora of books about antipodean renovating adventures in France. I think, despite my never-ceasing love of all things french, my interest in books chronicling other people's experiences was starting to wane.  And then this amazing book arrived at the library for me - My Heart Wanders by Pia Jane Bijkerk. It's soooo beautiful. I read it over a couple of nights, (despite its size and weight I couldn't put it down), and now I can't stop thinking about it.  Pia, a successful interior stylist and blogger , takes a brave step into the unknown when she gives up her life in Australia to follow her heart to Paris, and then on to a houseboat in Amsterdam.  It is such a tender, heartfelt memoir. It has the feel of a personal journal, enhanced by a wonderfully crafted dynamic: the reader joins her on her journey, and watches as her new love, new life, and career beautifully unfold.  Not only is it an insp...

The story, written as fiction, and told in the voice of Hadley Richardson, Ernest Hemingway's first wife, is based on known facts about their relationship. It's a love story, but as far as love stories go, it's pretty devastating. Hadley and Ernest meet at a party in Chicago, when he is only 21, and she six years older. Each carrying sadnesses and baggage, they fall in love. They marry and move to Paris, where, spurred on by new friends such as Ezra Pound and Gertrude Stein, Hemingway begins to make tentative steps towards fiction writing. They become parents, he becomes famous, and they come apart. I cried. x Library Girl PS I feel abit guilty. I got a recommendation for this book from a friend, and rushed out to get it from the library. Somehow, in doing so, I actually p...
