Being the self-proclaimed book lover that I am, I couldn't resist the book
NOVEL INTERIORS by Lisa Borgnes. The concept behind this beautifully photographed book (courtesy of Ivan Terestchenko) is how to live "in enchanted rooms inspired by literature". Great idea for any book lover.

First of all, I can't stress how truly enchanted these rooms actually are. While flipping through this coffee table book, I could easily envision myself wandering through these magically inspired rooms and being transported to some of my favorite literary settings. Taking a cue from such authors as Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, Henry James, Willa Cather, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Isak Dinesen and Marcel Proust, the book is all about an eclectic mix of collections, styles and charming touches that are a true blend of traditional literary touches and livable esthetic. The message is simple: Embrace what you love about your favorite literature and bring it home to adopt into your everyday life.
While many of the rooms and homes showcased are a bit out of the league of the typical homeowner, you can take these ideas and incorporate the parts that speak to you quite effortlessly into your own home.
Feel free to get lost in the pages of a book that takes its inspiration from plenty of good novels. A perfect gift for the book lover or home interior decorator in your life.
