Gift Guide | Books

The only thing I love as much as getting books is giving them! I think you tell a lot about a person by the books they have on display in their home. The more books, the better! I have the titles I love most scattered around every room in my home. They're stacked on my coffee table, the floor, my entry table, even on a side chair — like Ryan Korban, who I blogged about here, did. They make a home feel lived in. So, this holiday season I plan to share some of my favorite reads and coffee table books with the ones I love. It's a meaningful gift that will inspire for years to come. I'm always be a sucker for a good hardcover and these are just a few of the beautiful design books I have saved in my Amazon Wish List:
