Christmas Book List for 2014
Sunday, December 7, 2014The book lists are out for Christmas and it is so fun to see what editors, reviewers and critics are recommending as “good reads” for under the tree. Naturally, we have our suggestions as well. So, if you are considering a move, a renovation or starting from the ground up with a new build next year, here are some books that we think will inspire you to get started on your projects in the coming year!
An historicist at heart, Peter Pennoyer takes classic architecture to the right heights.
One of our favorites. A must have in any library for those interested in Architecture and design.
Another point of view on the traditional vernacular. Ferguson & Shamamian is the team responsible for the renovation at 15 Shagbark. One of our favorite listings of 2014.
Timeless design. If you don’t own it already, you should. I suppose the best affair you will ever have is with your house!
Tom Scheerer will make you whistle a merry merry!
For the one who likes clean lines, Victoria Hagan has an exceptional eye.
Wildly Chic. Miles’ book is A Must Have.
For all you TB fans, this book will blind you with her style and color schemes!
Let your hair down and do what you like! Susanna’s book is a glorious collection of rooms and ideas that will inspire you to do just that!
Whimsey and style at its best. LOVE Katie Ridder!
Splendid new book by Markham Roberts.
Jane Garmey has put together a beautiful book that will transport you to some of Connecticut’s most lovely Eden’s. For anyone who loves to garden, this is a solid addition to your library.
A good gardening library starts with the basics. I think Vita qualifies…
Why not do the complete series.
A stunning garden book that really does deserve the coffee table spot. It will give you incredible ideas for your own garden.
Jack Staub also has this wonderful collection to read for your kitchen garden. In addition to Exciting Vegetables, there is Remarkable Fruits and Exceptional Herbs. These are beautifully done books and make fabulous Hostess presents.
All these books can be bought or ordered at Barrett Books. They have other very good suggestions at their Noroton Heights location. Call to order, or drop in and enjoy the experience of a great book store.
Getting ready for Christmas
Friday, November 30, 2012The second Thanksgiving is over people move right into Christmas, and decorating for the holiday. For a long time I resisted and waited until at least the first week of December to pass so I could feel the season coming on. The air changes and the leaves are truly gone after Thanksgiving. It starts to feel like December. Over the years I have given in, earlier and earlier, and now on December 1, I will start to DECK THE HALLS! I felt inspired by some photos I have seen recently.
December will be a fun month for us here at Real in Darien. We have a fun CONTEST coming up, and we will be showcasing the 12 PICKS FOR CHRISTMAS. Maybe a set of house keys will find their way under your tree!
Welcome!
Merry Christmas. Nothing like lights to light up Santa’s path.
Great Idea for an outdoor urn. Thank you Martha, you always do come up with a Good Thing!
Gorgeous! and so welcoming.
Alessandra Branca’s signature red touch. Such a wonderful and welcoming hearth!
Stephen Sills…keep it about the spirit of giving. But, these presents do look so elegant and fabulous under the tree.
Focus on the ornaments! They make the best hostess gift.
LOVE LOVE this interior door. Christmas in California at Mary MacDonald’s. One of my favorites.
Christmas… You can count on color at Tory Burch’s house!
Carolyn Roehm’s signature blue and white is gorgeous.
Ahhhh! Miles. Always fabulous.
rushing through the snow…Very excited for a fun and festive Christmas. With any luck it will be a white one!
