{Books} Love Letter to Karin Meyn
March 04, 2013
Dear Karin,
Your new styling book is so gorgeous
it caused my eyes to pool with tears.
I cherish it, am deeply inspired,
and don't care if proclaiming
such adoration makes me
sound like a moron.
Thank you for such a lovely creation.
It is filled to the brim with heart,
soul, and artful integrity.
Love,
Lil' me at Hello Lovely
Piet Boon® Styling
What's the fuss?
A lavish softcover book called
Piet Boon® Styling
(Lannoo Publishers/ACC, 2013).
It is gorgeously
photographed and a sheer
delight for styling
enthusiasts.
If you buy only one design/style book this year,
THIS ONE SHOULD BE IT.
Behold my joy on the kitchen table:

Who is Karin Meyn?
Creative director at Piet Boon Styling
(who just happens to be Piet Boon's wife).
Her book imparts her philosophy about creating moods.
It dances with color and evocative style.
Even its design is creatively set apart...
the cover works in the reverse, and different kinds of paper
allow viewing images to become a more interesting
and unique experience.

Check out the night of her book launch party
(who cares if I can't understand Dutch--still special).

Ahhhhhhhh.
This is what satisfaction looks like
while you're learning from a master, friends.
Peace to you right where you are.

Thats what I call a rave book review..and love your visuals...reading on top of your dining room table..only you can look that cool doing it, my kids would roll their eyes and think I have lost my mind:) Good wine does help though:) Thanks for the book intro, always good to learn about a new talent!
ReplyDeleteyour'e so funny and cute! I will certainly look out for this book if it comes out to Australia. Are you exhausted from reading or too much red wine??? :)
