Wanderlust: Interiors That Bring the World Home

by Michelle Nussbaumer, Hutton Wilkinson (Foreword)

The first book from designer Michelle Nussbaumer features her dramatically lush interiors and shows readers how spaces can be inspired by travel and filled with treasures from around the world. As a curator who discovers exquisite treasures all over the world for her projects and her Dallas-based design store Ceylon et Cie, Michelle Nussbaumer has a signature style, in multilayered rooms that mix periods with antique textiles, embroideries and weavings, unconventional furniture, and global art. The result is unique interiors that might recall 1940s glamour or nineteenth-century England. Her first book, organized by mood and style, showcases interiors that range from calm to bold, and from rustic to exotic. These include Nussbaumer’s own stunning residences in Switzerland and Texas, as well as her work for clients around the country. Her sumptuous interiors—eclectic in style and influenced by the designer’s travels from Paris and Rome to Africa, Mexico, and China—provide alluring inspiration for design aficionados.

She certainly has her own point of view and chooses beautiful and original pieces. But goodness there is a lot of it. To each their own.

[False · Rating 4 out of 5]

Certain books date before the decade is out: travel, food, and interior design. Few become classics. This book, published in 2016, still has a few years to go, but the author and interior designer has an aesthetic that seems to date more slowly--that would be eclectic tastes and a blending of many styles--all with a world beat behind it. This isn't your average Pier One circa 1976 display. Many of the objets used in the rooms have their own provence. Not your typical Rizzoli big book for the coffee table. I think most readers will find something to incorporate into their own tastes for room and home design.
