Live Beautiful is Athena Calderone's design book on how creative people actually decorate their homes. She is the founder of EyeSwoon and author of the James Beard award-winning Co ok Beautiful.The book moves through the homes of interior decorators, fashion designers and tastemakers from her own network. Two of Calderone's own residences are included.What separates it from a pure photography book is the structure. For each home she starts with the spark that began the project, then breaks the rooms down into their parts: layered textures, patterns, collected objects, built vignettes. Each section closes with how to apply that thinking in your own rooms.Photography throughout is by Nicole Franzen.It works as a reference you read and as an object you leave out. Both, usually.
