I can't believe it's been such a long time since my last book club review. Just as a treat and to make up my slackness I'm adding some snippets from my favorite pages inside the books.

1. In Bloom - Alice Whately

This is a wonderful book with all new homes, pictures and inspiration. The book is spilt in five chapters 1. feminine florals, 2. exotic florals, 3. funky florals, 4. retro florals and 5. vintage florals. I'm a mix of the feminine florals and vintage florals. The chapters are a good guide on how to use florals in your home and for which florals you should choose. The pictures in the book are beautiful and the styling is superb.

I love this mixture of modern and new and how the organza curtains fit perfectly over the garden doors. The glass chandelier, the odd lamp and the pink butterfly chairs.

Of course a book about florals can't go without some Cath Kidston.

Buy this book at Amazon.co.uk

2. Cheap Chic or Style on a Budget - Emily Chalmers

I don't know where to start or what to tell you about this book, it's just ALL GOOD!! This is my absolute new favorite book. Another book by Emily Chalmers Flea Market Style and is now my second absolute favorite book. That Emily sure knows how to capture a book full of good interiors. I can only say "go order it now" because you will not regret it. So much inspiration, new photos and lots and lots of great tips.

I love this kitchen and that plate rack with the yellow chair under it is just perfect.

Ah shelving, almost as good as ice-cream.

I want to rate it ten stars. Highly recommended!!

2. London Kitchens - via Paumes

It's turning into a little addiction but I snatched this book straight after the lovely people of Amazon.co.jp sent me an email recommending it to me. It's super, super, super cute and my most favorite book in the series so far.

I loved peeking into the kitchens of designers from LovelyLovely and Loop. I also spotted a must have under the christmas tree item for myself over at Loop. It's featured in the book also. This is just, yet again, a wonderful book and I can highly recommend it!

ISBN number: 407253787X

4. Stockholm's Apartments - via Paumes

Do I need to say more? All the Paumes books are fabulous. So is this one and so will all the others to come LOL!!

I love this hall. The shoes are pretty and so is the wallpaper.

Look at this wall - it's a swoon wall!! I'd love to do something like this with that plate rack in Cheap Chic in my kitchen. Only if I did have a bit more space.

Great book, must have!!
