I don't have enough praise for the design and architecture created by Orlando Diaz-Azcuy. His minimalist style, presented in sections, is stunning. 

The art, subtle but courageous, is absolutely beautiful and different. The metallic and gilded pieces are breathtaking.

Needless to say I am in love with this publication, and I have shared images from the book below. ENJOY!

I must admit that ROMANCING THE HOME: Stylish Interiors for a modern Lifestyle has hit this one out of the ball park. Manger had some wonderful teachers, and it shows brilliantly.

I love that he combines traditional with contemporary design in such a seamless way. He has chosen beautiful art, fabrics, carpets, paint, antiques and other furnishings in his projects.

Below I have shared several images from this book.  ENJOY!

Currently Classic by Jonathan Bachman is one of the most beautiful publications at this time. His use of art, leather goods, textiles, color, antiques and collectables throughout the book is a fabulous guide for any designer.

Blending modern with traditional, gathering inspiration from finds he has gathered from flea markets in the East and the West, and making sure that the architecture and design meld, he has created masterpieces. 

Below are several images of Jonathan's work.  ENJOY!
