One of my favorite things to do is to read, think, and dream about home decorating. I love thinking about new ways to make my surroundings reflect my interests and personality. I'm a firm believer that your home should be a place of comfort that celebrates your own particular viewpoint in this world. Our tastes and sense of personal style are what make us unique and having a home that reflects this is a wonderful thing.

I'm an avid user of Pinterest and I love to make collections of things to do with houses, especially the interiors. As I read through Valorie Hart's book, I kept thinking that every photo would be perfect to add to my online collection of photos. In looking at the beautiful homes featured in the book, I've found that one of the themes throughout is one that celebrates individuality. The colors and textures are so varied and you can see the love that these homeowners have put into creating the unique vibes of their homes.

The author of the book, Valorie Hart, is a New Orleans-based interior designer and she draws upon her expert knowledge to guide readers through some of the most beautiful homes in Louisiana. The photographs by Sara Essex Bradley are an integral part of the book as they document each home in vivid detail. The teamwork of Hart and Bradley is brilliant. Together they have created a wonderful visual experience for readers.
The author puts it best as she writes in her introduction:
"The people in this book are you. They love their homes as you do. They love to decorate like you do...They lavish time and money on their homes like you do, and fling open their doors to friends and family, and now to you."

I really love that we as readers get the chance to learn about the people who live in these lovely homes. It's intriguing to hear about some of the inspiration behind the decor of each house and their stories tie back very well to the main theme of being 'house proud'. Valorie Hart also offers great advice on repurposing furniture, displaying decorative pieces, and making good use of space. There is definitely a lot to learn and to enjoy between the pages of House Proud: Unique Home Design/Louisiana.
This is a book that I truly enjoyed and I will certainly be referring to it over and over as I map my own path to creating the home that I envision.
House Proud: Unique Home Design/Louisiana can be purchased here.
