Superbly photographed, this beautifully crafted volume presents Cortina’s most recent interior projects and unique furniture pieces. References to symbols such as feathers, mirrors, water and reflections are shown throughout her work. 


Cortina’s career covers architecture, interior design, sculpture and furniture, and I enjoyed every page of this book. 


Below are several images that I am certain you will enjoy!

I can’t tell you how much I love this colorful book. I wish I could have had it in my hands years ago. 


This stunning book shares 300 roses in many colors. Each rose is breathtaking, and Dall’Armi is eager to showcase the colors, availability, disease, resistance and fragrance. 


I have shared a few of the lovely images below. ENJOY!








Dall’Armi Hahn, the owner of Roses Story Farm in Carpinteria, California has over 40,000 rose bushes. The book has been featured in Sunset, Martha Stewart Living, The Wall Street Journal,

Better Homes & Gardens, Oprah Daily, Veranda, Wine Country Living, Victoria magazine, and on the Today show.
