At Home with White was published in '96, and none of the pictures are 'out of date'. I was hard pressed to find anything to denote when the book was made as I was drooling over each image. This book was my first love, the first time I ever poured over each page in a book a dozen times, the first time I said "THIS" is my look. I checked it out of the library more times than I can count, always renewing it.....forgot about it for a bit.....then rediscovered it in the last few years and fell in love all over again. I never tire of the vignettes, the lushness, the simplicity.
The following are just pictures I took with my camera of the images in the book as it sat in my lap, so they're blurry and weird, but you get the idea. Bliss. Bliss. Bliss.
Happy White Wednesday everyone. Thanks again to Kathleen of Faded Charm for hosting every week so we can get our fix on white everything.

Hi Cindy, My Hubby and I have date nights at the bookstore all the time. I guess we don't get out much. Love the pics!
Perfect white post! Love it all. I'm not too at home with white...as in walls and furniture, but I LOVE old white accents.
I couldn't pull it off decorating all white, but I LOVE it! So calming and peaceful.

PS Never got a chance to say how cute your rocker loveseat turned out...very nice...and good for you on keeping the party going...will see if it motivates me...I really just need to clean house! Loved your extreme home post BTW...now you know why I only do vignette shots and not panoramic...
I love At Home With White too!! ;-)

Atlanta Bartlett's book, also called At Home with White (hmmm) is one of my absolute favorites...
