The book includes before and after shots, as well as floor plans, plus they give you tips for achieving similar looks in your own space. If you have a family and are looking to redesign a room (or rooms) in your home, this is the book for you.

The Flower Recipe Book

Inspiring and helpful, the Recipe Book series is not to be missed, but we especially love the first in the collection, The Flower Recipe Book.

From allium to zinnias, the authors supply tips for choosing, trimming, and selecting buds and more. Armed with this guide, hit the flower market to create your own amazing arrangement. What home doesn’t deserve a beautiful bouquet?
