Joy of Decorating โดย Phoebe Howard

I picked this up after staring at a blank wall for weeks, and her tips on layering textiles actually got me moving. The section on mixing patterns is worth the read alone.

The photography alone is worth the price — I've flipped through the living room chapter three times just for the styling shots. Her tips on arranging furniture are practical enough that I actually redid our den layout last weekend.

I bought this after feeling stuck on our living room for months, and her tips on layering textures finally made it click. The chapters on spa-like bathrooms are my favorite part; I've already reworked our vanity counter based on them.
