In addition to the Bilhuber book below, here are some other upcoming releases that rank high on my wish list:
Mlinaric on Decorating. I really don't know a lot about English design impresario David Mlinaric, so I'm looking forward to this release. I'll give you a peek of this book next week.
Michael S. Smith Houses. I think we can all agree that this book will be one of the hottest releases this Fall.
Celerie Kemble: To Your Taste: Creating Modern Rooms with a Traditional Twist. I'm a fan of Kemble's work, so this will be a must-have for me. I haven't heard a lot of buzz about this book, but with a November release date, perhaps it's just a matter of time.
Regency Redux by Emily Eerdmans. I wrote about this book a while back, and believe me, my anticipation grows greater by the day. I think this book will be the breakthrough hit of the season.
Domino: The Book of Decorating. With the Domino name and a $32 price tag, this book will end up on most of our book shelves.
Georgian Style and Design: Living with Proportion and Elegance by Henrietta Spencer-Churchill. Everyone with a design library needs at least one Spencer-Churchill book. Or even two or three!
French Chic: The Art of Decorating Houses by Florence de Dampierre. With photos by Tim Street-Porter, this book is sure to be gorgeous.
Jennifer,
ReplyDeleteYou've hit all the high points! I agree and can't wait for these to be released. Now I just need more shelves :)
Courtney- Me too!
ReplyDeleteOooh, Mlinaric.
ReplyDeleteI'm sitting here on needles and pins and will not breathe properly until that book is on my coffee table.
And such a book is long overdo, wouldn't you say?
Toby- I so agree with you. I don't know a great deal about Mlinaric, so I'm especially excited about this book.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward especially to French Chic and Jeffrey Bilhuber's book.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know about Regency Redux - thanks for heads up! - and I'm on way right now to reserve my copy on Amazon!
Wonderful post today - thank you.
Tristan
Tristan- The Regency Redux book should be really good. I better start making my way through my unread book pile- I've got to get ready for Fall!
ReplyDeleteYes -- all on my pre-ordered list from Amazon! Can't wait -- what a great fall line-up!! ((more exciting than the up-and-coming TV shows!!)) Just In the Door -- Charlotte Moss' extraordinary "A Flair for Living" -- mixed a drinkie, headed for my favorite chair for a long and quiet afternoon.

Jan- Enjoy! It's a great book. Can't wait to hear what you think about it.
ReplyDeletewow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletethat's all I have to say!
Re: Moss book .... a very large coffee table book, not a lap book! LOL! BUT her philosophies -- starting right at the introduction: "What makes a room wonderful is nothing that you can see. It's something you feel." (page 12) -- on creating a home, beauty, comfort and yes -- practicality are simply wonderful! A very readable text with lots of valuable insights from classic decorators and designers: my favorite is from Nancy Lancaster: "I am not a decorator but a percolator of ideas" (page 23) The photos are huge to match the size of the book -- and certainly grant the viewer access to many many details of her designs. Highly recommended!

Jan- You summed it up perfectly! It's a great book, but you're right, not a lap book!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jennifer! I know I can always count on you to know the best of the best of what's coming. Michael Smith is a must, and I will be interested to see Celeri's book....How do I pare this down?!?
ReplyDeleteLove all your choices here Jennifer!! I've been thinking forward to the Michael S. Smith one, but know I have even more to add to my ever growing wish list :)
ReplyDelete~kate
I am on pins and needles.
ReplyDeleteBook, books, books...I can't wait!!!!
ReplyDeleteI want the Domino book the most b/c it translates best into real decorating ideas for me.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to French Chic.
ReplyDeleteI know I say it all the time, but I really love your book lists. I'm such a book junkie and I sometimes get the feeling I've seen it all... and then I read your blog and see that I'm nowhere near seeing it all!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Eclectic- Me too! Then I go on Amazon and see all of these upcoming releases. I don't know how I'm going to read all of these!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, thanks for the heads up! Love the look of French Chic!!
ReplyDeleteXX
