B is for Book(s)

If you've ever met me, you would know that I love books. I am slowly creating a vast collection of books now, and thrive on getting more. I love what books can do to a room, offer it entertainment, color, or even  just make it feel comfortable. No matter where the books are in the room, whether they're on a coffee table, stacked in a corner, piled on a shelf, or neatly aligned in a cabinet, books give personality to a room, because it shows people actually use the room for keeping worthwhile objects. This is not the first time I've posted photos of different rooms clad with books, but each new picture I see, I treat as a inspiration, and really look into what is possible when collecting books. Enjoy!

Great Houses of Havana

I have always wanted to travel to Cuba, obviously not getting the chance to do so, I will still be able to see the refined and grandiose architecture and design of the lush island. Much like the elite enclaves of the East Coast, Cuba is speckled with lavish beaux arts mansions and beautifully done art deco homes. Hermes Mallea's Great Houses of Havana is a well curated showcase of the some of the most beautiful homes and estates on the island, having Cuban-immgrant parents Mr. Mallea shares a personal connection with the island's glamour, before it was brought down by ongoing government situations. This book is the perfect read addition to a library full of books about travel, exotic places, and beautiful homes.
