How To Decorate - Shannon Fricke



I've long been a huge fan of Shannon Fricke's work and style. Her first two books are a staple in my collection so I was so excited to see her latest book on the shelves at DJ's the other day. I told myself I didn't need it- "Kimberlee, what about the approx $100 worth of design mags sitting by your bed at the moment that you haven't had time to even flick through yet...." - but as I was having a sticky beak through the book I got to the back and there in the suppliers/reference section under blogs was brown button.... Um Shannon, THANK YOU! What an honour. So of course, I excitedly bought the book, even told the poor shop assistant about how i was listed in the back, instagram-ed it and FB'ed it!

So I've managed to sit down with a glass (ok a bottle..) of red tonight and flick through the book, read some bits and pieces. It really is gorgeous. Prue Ruscoe did the photography. Best bit? all the images are totally inspiring and totally fresh and new, I haven't seen any of them before and it has me motivated to ensure I'm out of bed at a decent hour over the weekend to start sprucing up this still very bare home of mine.

Shannon has a new website as well and a gorgeous online shop. Thank you again Shannon x

Being mentioned in a book alone is too cool, but one of Shannon's no less, very exciting. =)
