The Cultivated Home

We love color blocking when it comes to your bookshelves, and finding great cloth bound books can be a challenge.  That is why we’re obsessed with the new, clothbound classics collections from Penguin publishing!

Designed by the amazing artist, Coralie Bickford-Smith, this amazing group of book covers needs no jacket.  Available though the Penguin website or at Anthropologie, you must check out these books today.  Get one for yourself, or for a loved one, this holiday season!

If you’re feeling stuck and need a little inspiration, be sure to take a look at the amazing book “Flea Market Style” by Emily Chalmers. This great book has unique ideas on how to restyle and repurpose your antique finds to create a truly unique space. Cover a boring pillow with old sequined gowns, antique lace, and vintage scarves. Reupholster a worn-out, old sofa with thick and cozy Welsh blankets. Create focal point by adorning a wall with collections of ceramic plates, dainty perfume bottles, a shelf of teapots, or a hanging display of antique jewelry collections. In essence, this book is about presenting your finds in an unexpected, new way to give them a striking impact. Head to your local bookstore and pick this book up today.
