Best of Met Home, Best Home Design Book

For all of us who are devastated at the closing of Metropolitan Home magazine, this book is a little consolation prize now that there isn't that monthly treat of the magazine's arrival. It is quintessential Met Home Modern, but with a wonderful overlay of spectacular and helpful designer quotes. Each chapter highlights a specific area of the home, and each is filled with extraordinary yet "doable" ideas to freshen most any home--from a small apartment to a huge house. GREAT gift! DWC

Want a little glamour in your home?

If you like sophisticated, fresh, glamorous design, which is very popular now, you'll enjoy the pictures and quotes from designers in this book. It's a great collection of the most up-to-date, livable contemporary design in one book, that has a sophisticated, glamorous edge. Elements of glamorous decor, whether they be chandeliers or daybeds, are combined in successful rooms utilizing the design so you see how rooms can be put together in an original way. This book should be in style for some time as it integrates classic elements of glamour with the more contemporary enactments of it. The book definitely has a modern edge as the cover picture demonstrates, although I liked some rooms inside better than the cover picture. There's an eclectic mix inside to inspire you.
