Good morning, chic readers! We hope you had an amazing weekend and a wonderful Easter. We know it was certainly a different one. (You have to scroll down to see what our church did. So cute!)

 

 

During this unusual time, we have been relying a lot on books for solace, and you know we can’t get enough of a good coffee table book.  We are positively in love with Tara Shaw’s new Soul of the Home, filled with stunning design, great advice, and, our favorite: antiques!  Her designs are warm, welcoming and worthy of looking at again and again.

 

 

And we are swooning over this secretary–and the built-in Swedish clock is so stunning! This looks like a work-from-home paradise!  But statement furniture (like this piece!) is only a part of the story.

 

 

Well-appointed chef’s kitchens that don’t overlook a single detail,

 

 

And luxe layers that add an undeniable warmth to every Tara Shaw room,

 

 

All contribute to the feeling that each home, each place, truly does have a soul. And Tara Shaw is just the person to discover it.

 

If you could use some uplifting images and incredible inspiration–and, of course, some fabulous decor advice–pick up a copy of Soul of the Home, releasing April 21 but available for preorder now.
