by Robert Novogratz, Cortney Novogratz, Elizabeth Novogratz

Cortney and Robert Novogratz are a fabulous husband and wife design team that have been renovating their own homes for the past 15 years! Their style is a mix of boho chic with thrift store finds and antiques. This book offers tips, ideas, quotes and huge photographs of their work. This book motivates me to get my wishlist together and just start working on small projects one at a time, taking each step as it presents itself!

Not really a how to book, adding in their 7 kids this is more a story about their lives through their interior design process. A gorgeous coffee table book to inspire!

Bohemian Style – Interiors – by Elizabeth Wilhide

bohemian-style-by-elizabeth-wilhide

Great book on bohemian decorating, style and interiors. The beauty of the boho look is that it does not require a huge budget, it is only constrained by your imagination, and it is a highly unique and personal style that says a lot about who you are!

Bohemian Style by Elizabeth Wilhide.

What is Bohemian style? Bohemian Style is economy-minded but never dull. It’s lively, idiosyncratic, exuberant, attention-getting, and above all, intensely decorative. Bohemians know how to create style on a shoestring, improvise furnishings from cast-offs, and conjure up magic from the mundane.

A great book which details the beginnings of the boho movement born at the time of industrialization as a way to create something beautiful, functional and artistic. Elizabeth Wilhide uses great images along with a well written introduction to move the reader through the artistic legacy of the bohemian lifestyle. A great book for lovers of the style!
