This book seems very personal; in some ways it&#39;s more like a story. I think that&#39;s what captivated me. But I know what you&#39;re saying about other monographs not being quite up to snuff!The Peak of Chichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02811933436075145329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-32234418856262522362009-10-08T13:38:13.463-04:002009-10-08T13:38:13.463-04:00this sounds great- I just don&#39;t know if I can house another- designer&#39;s monograph of rooms-I have been less than enamored with the last few.I am donating a few new ones to the public library.

I love that green bathroom - so perfectly serene for long baths (or in my case this evening, a bath with the baby on the bathroom floor watching In the Night Garden while I waited for the water to cool to a more babyable temperature so she could join me for half an hour of splashing - not exactly serene, but fun nonetheless).Passementeriehttp://www.passementeries-diary.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-2874326175024724392009-10-07T13:42:46.251-04:002009-10-07T13:42:46.251-04:00Alessandra Branca is pure genius. I posted about a home she did for one of my cashmere clients in Chicago.

I have been looking forward to this. I have loved red, black, white/cream all of my life. Was so glad to find Branca&#39;s work for validation! I think her style is exactly what appeals to me. It&#39;s a lifetime, not just for a short time. So glad to hear from an avid reader that the text is wonderful, too.home before darkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13272062955786414729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-87796510292305163182009-10-07T10:00:54.505-04:002009-10-07T10:00:54.505-04:00One of my favorite interiors has to be the Georgetown townhouse Ms. Branca designed that was profiled in Southern Accents (I think that was the publication). It was so inspiring - I&#39;m sure her book is equally delightful.
