Yeah!

After much anticipation, I recently made my way to Liberty's London where I had the privileged of attending the UK book launch of DECORATE by none other than Decor8's Holly Becker and co-author Joanna Copestick. Having followed her blog for much time, I was delighted and eagerly awaited its arrival. This poignant book opens doors into some of the world's most stylish homes photographed by talented Debi Treloar. The aesthetically pleasing book, melds the casualness of blog with the tone of an American author and a British voice infused by Jacqui Small Publishers. All together it is a must see and read.
