A Book full of Beauty

Over the years, I must have looked at 100 plus books on interior design, decorating, furnishings, architecture and so on, many of them wonderful books, illustrated with beautiful pictures. When paging through books like these, there is usually much that I like and quite a bit that I don't, and that is what I come to expect. I haven't ever come across a book  where I love absolutely every single photograph in the book. That is ... until now!

There is a book that is filled with page after page of such beautiful interiors, I think it has spoilt all other books for me.

The book I am referring to is ..... Segreto - Secrets to Finishing Beautiful Interiors by Leslie Sinclair

This is not a book for casual flipping through. This is a book that deserves one's time and focus. There is such attention to detail in these interiors that I would find myself gazing at each image for ages before moving on to the next.  And because there are  300 pages - this book will keep you enthralled for days, weeks, maybe months depending how much free time you have!

The interiors are all so tastefully designed, furnished and decorated by the various designers involved, and the thing that really sets these interiors apart are the amazing plaster wall treatments done by Leslie Sinclair's team. They are so subtle, yet add such warmth and patina to a room.

I would quite happily live in any of the beautiful homes in this book.

I am completely smitten with this kitchen!

There is an understated sophistication about these interiors that is so appealing. Beautiful, but not overdone.

These bathrooms - Oh my!

So if you would like to treat yourself to a world of beauty, you can order the book here or via Amazon.

Till next time
