Images I could look at allll day longgggg

The Way We Live with the Things We Love -- Stafford Cliff and Gilles de Chabaneix -- Gorgeous stuff -- Could almost live on this book alone; wanted to eat it up! May be too European for most American's taste - things are handed down, things can look shabby, things can be crooked - things aren't always done up "perfectly"; but wow are they done up artfully. If you find yourself re-arranging your bookshelf, or the area above your fireplace, or some other niche again and again (as I do, and yes, it is a sickness); this is the book for you. Loved it, it's like those English gardens that seem haphazard and not purposeful, but are beautiful. Sometimes it happens on accident, but usually it's the end result of a lot of work.
