I love my book collection. Today, I revisited one of my favorites, "The Way We Live". Often in our industry we are asked to mimic life abroad- to create a French inspired dining room or build Mediterranean architecture. It is one of the most fun aspects of my job and often one of the most fulfilling- to push the limits and try and create something totally new.

Authors Stafford Cliff and Gilles De Chabaneix say,
"At the heart of every thinking person's house should lie a library or book-room, a repository of the intellectual adventures of the owners."
Well said.
Here are three libraries from across the globe- Provence, Paris and Austria.
And four wonderful gardens from Majorca, Tuscany, Bali and France.
And four versions of a farmers market in Italy, Bangkok, Nepal and Sri Lanka...a little different than the one we attend outside our Whole Foods Market:
