Book Description

August 1, 2012
A master interior stylist and designer for Anthropologie provides unique inspiration for becoming the curator of your own style and creating evocative rooms full of texture, color, and imagination
 
Packed with tips of the interior stylist's trade, this is a lavishly photographed interiors book in which every image demonstrates a clear and easily replicable principle that will help transform a room without the need for expensive and permanent renovation. Sibella Court's style is very global, combining contemporary elements with antiques and junk-shop finds, textile fragments, wallpapers, collectibles, and ephemera. This beautiful guide draws on five of Sibella's favorite color themes as a framework for the display of her impeccable eye for detail. Each section will draw the reader into Sibella's world of color and texture, through inspirational room settings to the most intimate of details.

Review

"There are few books in the world as lovely as this. . . . the biblio equivalent of pottering around a junk shop you've stumbled across in a back alley of Paris."  —Ideal Home

3.0 out of 5 stars You really have to love this style to love the book, June 6, 2010
This review is from: Etcetera: Creating Beautiful Interiors With the Things You Love (Hardcover)
I received this book as a gift. I just bought an old house that needs 'doing' from top to bottom, and there are parts of this book that are quite useful, such as one of the central ideas of putting together your own unique color palette (though the author does strongly hint that her color palette is really the best...)

However...you should be warned that this book has a very idiosyncratic style, both in content and the way it's laid out. The style put forth here by the author is a sort of a shabby chic meets tiki bar meets the casbah meets raiding your favorite "ethnic"-Asian import store meets flea market...kind of thing. Very handmade, probably needing quite a lot of maintenance and discipline to keep it from looking like a big mess. The design of the book and pages themselves reflect this aesthetic.

If you dream of moving into an Anthropologie-controlled world, or love raiding vintage shops and flea markets for your home and your wardrobe, this is the book for you. If you're just not sure about what you like in terms of interior design, this book *might* be for you...it might push you in one direction or another. However, if you're into modern/contemporary or minimalist styles, and dislike clutter (even if it's artistic clutter) run the other way fast.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully layed out and with thoughtful details, January 15, 2010
By 
LKD "Lisa" (San Diego, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Etcetera: Creating Beautiful Interiors With the Things You Love (Hardcover)
This book is definitely not for novice. It inspires from a different level and is not a "how-to" book or a "before and after" magazine. It shows the creation process of a true artist, in a honest way. I love the way the book was produced, with vellum sheets and beautiful typography. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Etcetera: Creating Beautiful Interiors with the Things You Love by Sibella Court, January 16, 2010
By 
asta's mom (Medina, Ohio USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Etcetera: Creating Beautiful Interiors With the Things You Love (Hardcover)
Etc. is not the average book of decorating tips and household hints, but it is a beautiful guide for artists, stylists, and designers. One can be inspired by the texture, objects, arrangements, layouts and color. Etc. is just a beautiful book to dream over.
