I love Elle Decor magazine and I had to have this book. The cover photo is Candace Bushnell's apartment. (She bought the sofa from Jay McInerny and had it reupholstered in that nice mint green velvet, which reminds me of my bedroom curtains.) Discovery: Candace Bushnell's bookshelves are filled with.....books by Candace Bushnell.

Picked up this book completely by accident. And well, I came to know about the lives of supremely rich people. It was fascinating, I did get a few decoration related inspirations, but maybe in five years.
