This week on my coffee table: DECORATE WORKSHOP

My dear readers, I’m very happy today to introduce you the new Holly Backer‘s book, Decorate workshop. Paired with her previous book {Decorate, a giant success in 2011}, these two books are the new decoration bible {at least mine!}.
But let’s start with order for the one of you that never read this column.
There is a recap page, with all the informations about the book where you can find also my vote. I express my vote with the number of the specs, from 1 to 5 {the vote it’s just my personal opinion, I don’t want to offend the writer/photographer/editor but just give to the readers my personal view}.
So, enjoy the review and I invite you to share with me and with the other readers your impressions if you have the book too {and I know that many of you have it!}.

DECORATE WORKSHOP

what I like:
♦ this is the “natural” sequel of the previous book, and I like the fact that you can feel this connection;
♦ like the previous book, the pictures have been made by Debi Treloar and I can confirm what I said for this book: the images are bright and you can perceive the attention to the details and to the angles;
♦ the creative process is complete and the 8 chapters guide you every step of the way, from the inspiration to the “happy decorating”;
♦ the personal approach of this book, like an informal chat with a friend {the same attitude that she shows writing on her blog};
♦ in every section you can find blank pages to “interact” with Holly. She asks you to answer on several questions, she gives you the tools to find your decoration way and she offers her experience;
♦ finally we can see the pictures of the lovely apartment that she shares with her husband in Hannover!

what I don’t like:
♦ absolutely nothing! Maybe the fact that my house is not in this book!! {of course I’m joking, a girl can dream, right?}

Miei cari lettori, sono molto felice oggi di presentarvi il nuovo libro di Holly Backer, Decorate workshop. In coppia con il suo libro precedente {Decorate, che ha riscosso un successo enorme nel 2011}, questi due libri sono la nuova bibbia dell’interior styling {per lo meno per quanto mi riguarda!}.
Ma partiamo con ordine per quelli di voi che non hanno mai letto questa rubrica.
C’è una pagina iniziale di riepilogo con tutte le informazioni relative al libro in cui è possibile trovare anche il mio voto. Il mio voto è contrassegnato con il numero degli occhiali, da 1 a 5 {ribadisco che il voto è soggettivo, non voglio offendere lo scrittore/fotografo/editore, ma esprimere la mia opinione ai miei lettori).
Godetevi la recensione e come al solito vi invito a condividere con me e con gli altri lettori le vostre impressioni se anche voi avete acquistato il libro{e so che molti di voi lo hanno preso al volo!}.
