Apartment Therapy - The Book

My newest treasure is the book by the editors of one of my favourite online destinations: Apartment Therapy. Released earlier this year by San Francisco publishers Chronicle Books, the new book is a mid-sized, hardcover gem containing the best apartments from their uber-popular website, apartmenttherapy.com. Editors Jill Slater and Janel Laban pen most of the text, but the true stars are the owners of the apartments themselves, who are given a voice throughout the book, answering style and design surveys and providing direct insight into their decorating challenges and accomplishments. The apartment owners/renters also provide all of the photography of their places, giving the book a truly bohemian (but modern) flavour. Forty apartments throughout the United States are featured and each chapter concludes with a full list of design resources the owner/renter used to achieve the look.
