Design: Books as Holiday Gifts...

Hello again! It's me, Brooke, from The Modern Sophisticate.

I don't know about you but all I ever want for Christmas are books, especially gorgeous design books.  I have books in every room of my home, including my bathroom, kitchen and dining room-- I can't get enough of them!! If you are running around last minute trying to think of some quick and easy Christmas gifts, why not consider a beautiful book for your loved one?  One can never have too many, you know.  

And if you REALLY want to make an impression, why not add in a decorative object to coordinate?  

Here are my picks for...
