There are so many phenomenally talented guys and gals out there that host immaculate parties, create stunning venues and are amazing cooks to boot!  My all-time favorite designer and author in this arena is Carolyne Roehm.  Through her books, we are all so lucky to get a glimpse into her spectacular world!

Carolyne Roehm – The Icon

I cannot say enough about her books and the inspirations they provide.  I have been known to immerse myself in them for hours with a glass or two of wine in hand!  Not only has Carolyne been labeled as “the ultimate tastemaker”, but she is also absolutely the best at everything she touches.  Her style is iconic and her taste is impeccable.

If you want to see some of my other favorite coffee table books, I started a four-part series on my favorite coffee table books.  I felt it would be appropriate to do a separate post to feature Carolyne and her stunning books.  Her immaculate style is so inspiring.  For the last three weeks, I focused on home design books and fashion design books and books on entertaining and cookbooks. Next, I will feature books for the collector or enthusiast.  To see my last three posts on these subjects, click on this links below…
