Bibliotheca: Wim Pauwels

I always enjoy reading posts on book reviews, especially when there are photos of the inside :-), so I thought I would share, every now and then, some of my favourite books, one or two at a time.

I recently discovered Wim Pauwels, through the architect my husband works with. Pauwels has published extensively, mostly on Belgian and Dutch architecture and interiors. The books are usually very expensive and most are out of print, but if you can get your hands on one, even if at a library, it is definitely worth it. The houses featured are stunning, from their location to the smallest interior detail. Here are two of my favourites:

Building with Reclaimed Material

And Country Living

More to come on Pauwels...

I have these two! I love all the beta plus books. My goal is to get them all!!! I can't wait to read about your new house but don't worry about the old pictures of the house that got away - put them up. There's no copyright infringement. I'm dying to see them!!!!!

thanks for the comment.
