I’m fresh out of ideas for last-minute Christmas gifts (and sadly, I could still use a few), so I’m getting back to an ‘evergreen’ approach to Friday Family-Friendly Finds for awhile.

For any of you readers who have a designer or interior design aficionado friend or family member in your life, this post is for you! Today I’m laying out a list of my most wanted (and as yet unowned) design books – something old and something new. I’ve checked it twice. Have you been nice?…

As some of you may already know, my home is a featured ‘House Tour’ in the December issue of HGTV Magazine. I am honestly still pinching myself that I’ve been published in a national magazine.
