While spending hours browsing this beautiful book, I found it nearly impossible to choose the few images I am able to share with you. After all, I can't share the entire book!

These two are one fabulous team. I have followed both for some while, and I admire the work of both. Architecture, color, and texture are the name of the game here, and words can't describe how much I adore this book. You have to get to your local bookstore or click on the link at the end of this post to get your copy.

REVIEW:THE PERFECT BATH BY BARBARA SALLICK

THE PERFECT BATH

by Barbara Sallick

Rizzoli New York, $55.00

Barbara Sallisk, co-founder of Waterworks, is no stranger to the design of fabulous bathrooms. Her work is spectacular!

I am certain many of you have already heard about this book and are familiar with Barbara's work, but let me tell you what I found in this book. There is something for everyone in the design world. The fixtures, the furnishings, and the art are on spot. These are not just bathrooms, they are living rooms.

While you will find three of my favorites below, the book is full of everything you would dream of in a bath. Watch for its release in October.

ENJOY!

REVIEW: INSON DUBOIS WOOD INTERIORS

Inson Dubois Wood Interiors

Foreword by Christopher Hyland

I can't say enough wonderful things about this book. The eclectic mix, with so many beautifully color coordinated textiles, accessories, and furnishings is stunning. And I was taken by the sculpture, which is my first liven art.

Not only does Wood also use shades of orange, the cover is orange. Yes, I was also thrilled about that.

You can preorder, or watch for my update when the book is published in October.

Below are just three of the exquisite rooms in this book which contains 318 pages of beauty.
ENJOY!
