A while back I told you that I won a giveaway of a fabulous new decorating book, well it just came in the mail, so I am going to have lunch and spend the afternoon reading my new treasure.
The joy of Decorating by Phoebe Howard
A turkey sandwich, some chips and a coke. Perfect to just sit, have lunch and enjoy.
I love the green and yellow in this room.
So beautiful in all neutrals. That one large pillow is interesting.
Gorgeous blue and white kitchen with just a touch of orange in accessories.
The walls in this room are so beautiful. See how the mural is carried up onto the ceiling. Lovely.
I've just thumbed through so far, but it looks like it is going to become one of my favorites.
Grab one of your favorite books, fix a little snack and spend you some "me" time and enjoy.
That's the perfect type of afternoon. Enjoy your new book.
ReplyDeleteOoohh that's a perfect way to spend the afternoon. Your snack looks soooo yummy! Now I'm hungry. lol : )
ReplyDeleteSmiles!

What a great looking book, Marty. Is there anything better than sitting down with a bite to eat and a good decorating book? You know some of my old ones I still love to look at even though some of the styles have changed up a bit...they are still fun to browse through. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteWhat a terrific way to spend the afternoon, shifting the pages of that great looking book! I know you will get inspired from it and can't wait to see what you do next! Oh, I like your turkey sandwich too, got a craving for one too, lol... Enjoy your afternoon.
