Inspired by the last post:

I checked out your x-post (just for fun), and based on the style you described, I'd first recommend Weird Rooms. It's one of my favorite decorating books. It's a lot cooler than it sounds. In fact it is one of the coolest books I've ever seen. Once I saw this really neat book about modern people who live in/decorate old gypsy caravans...but I can't find it on amazon.com right now...I am going to keep thinking and maybe post more links if I come up with any!! I hope someone else comes up with some too, I'm interested in what decor books people in this community like.

that book is PERFECT. if you can think of what it is called or where i can find it, please please please let me know!

OK, I know I once checked out this book, it *might* have been it...Freewheeling Homes. I'd recommend trying to find it at a library, or looking at it at a bookstore, to see if it's what you want first.

In my amazon.com search, Bohemian Style came up...looks like it might be a little contrived, but maybe OK.

I am so annoyed that I can't find the book I'm thinking of, perhaps I'll go to the library tonight and see if I can find it for you ;)

I still REALLY recommend Weird Rooms, though!
