I absolutely love receiving a new book in the post, don't you? The smell of the pages, the anticipation of settling down a little later with a coffee in hand. And today is one of those days. The new book Urban Pioneer: Interiors inspired by industrial design
by Sara Emslie has just landed on my doormat. There's something about the rawness of large, spacious rooms and the rustic feel of ex-industrial spaces that is simply awe inspiring. And Sara's wonderful book is packed with industrial-design inspiration, beautiful images and styling tips from homes set in the most magnificent buildings including: a warehouse in London, a former dockworker canteen in Amsterdam and a converted feather factory in Brooklyn. Here's a sneak peek......
This is just a small example of some of the lovely spaces inside....
Now all I need is a conversion of my own. I've always quite fancied a windmill (or even a lighthouse!), how about you?
Sara is a stylist and writer based in London (actually not far from where I grew up). You may recognise the name from her best selling first book: Beautifully Small: Clever Ideas for Compact Spaces
(which I reviewed here).
You can pick up a copy of Sara's new book through Amazon here or order one through local bookstore.
Have a lovely day!
PS there's a very exciting give-away right now here (would hate for you to miss out!).
