In Charlotte's tenth book, CHARLOTTE MOSS ENTERTAINS: Celebrations and Everyday Occasions, there is a huge gathering of beautiful!  Choosing only a small number of images to share was torture.

From floral arrangements, interior design, and stunning tablescapes and delicious meals, Charlotte Moss has it covered.  Her impeccable use of linens, china, silver, crystal, paper, stories, and an abundance of images make this book a must have. 

This is by all means one of my favorite design books.  Is there anything Charlotte Moss can't do? Absolutely not!

Below are just a few of the stunning images in this book.  ENJOY!

When I pored over this spectacular book, I had the same reaction I always have when I see Ray's work. Overwhelmed!

In his new design book, RAY BOOTH: EVOCATIVE INTERIORS, Ray shares his own home in Nashville, which is a masterpiece, along with homes in the Hamptons, Palm Beach, New York, Louisiana, and Texas.

The homes Ray designs are filled with windows, wood, and open spaces that meld with the outdoors. His use of antiques,  modern pieces, beautiful fabrics, sculpture, and art are breathtaking.

Imagine waking up each day and opening your draperies to all of the outdoors surrounding you.

Below are a few of the environment Ray has created.  ENJOY!
