One of our favorite daily reads is Erin Gates’ blog, Elements of Style, and we especially love Fashion Fridays when she often pairs an outfit with a beautifully decorated room. So when Annette Tatum‘s new book, The Well-Dressed Home: Fashionable Design Inspired by Your Personal Style, arrived on Wednesday we were thrilled.
The book’s premise is that the decor of your home should reflect your unique personality and style, just as your clothing and accessories do. With gorgeous pictures and practical advice, Annette shows us how to be inspired by the colors, patterns and textures found on the runway and how to define your personal style using a great reference guide (are you couture or casual? romantic or vintage? retro or resort?).
Part III of the book is dedicated to showing these design styles in action with inspiration boards and beautiful rooms. Thank you, Annette, for such fabulous fashion. We so enjoy The Well-Dressed Home and can’t wait to bring our style out of the closet and into our living room!
