Parmesan and Garlic Loaf, Stuffed Baked Potatoes, Coconut Chicken, Mint Sorbet, and Jacques’s Beef Bourguignon are just a few of the recipes I plan to cook.

Below are several images from the book that I think you will ENJOY!

Parisian by Design: Interiors by David Jimenez, written by Diane Dorrans Saeks, is one of the most breathtaking books I have ever reviewed. Words can’t describe how rich and beautiful this French-influenced book is. 

From the textures, colors, art, collectibles,

books and furniture, how-to sections, antique dealers, art galleries, there is nothing missing here. I could not put this must-have book down. 

Below I have shared a few of my favorite images. ENJOY!

I have been following Suzanne Kasler’s work for many years, and her love for mixing architecture and design is most important to me. I also love her use of neutrals and texture. Needless to say, she is one of my favorite designers. 

Suzanne also designs signature collections for Hickory Chair, Visual Comfort, Ballard Designs, Lee Jofa, La Cormier, and Mirror Home. 

Every page here is stunning, and I hope that all of you add this book to your collection. Below I have chosen some of my favorites. 

ENJOY!
