Since we started off the week yesterday with an image from one of my favorite floral books (Bringing Nature Home) I thought I’d continue the week with my favorite books for inspiration. I’ve always been a fan of Carolyne Roehm and I often go to her book “At Home with Carolyne Roehm” for seasonal table setting and decorating inspiration. Although my tables are usually a bit more minimal I love her over the top parties and gorgeous setting of her home. It reminds me a lot of the Ralph Lauren aesthetic. What is so nice about this book is that it’s not only beautiful floral and decorating photographs but she shares her recipes for each party she hosted at home. With the holidays coming up- this makes a wonderful gift or a hostess gift. I think most any hostess or host will love to pour over these images and they will get more than a few ideas for entertaining all year long. -Lynn Butler Beling
