Vive bello

I bought this after remodeling my living room and it's genuinely helped me rethink how I arrange things. The photos of other creatives' homes are gorgeous, and flipping through it on a slow Sunday is honestly calming.

I bought this mostly for the Calderone interiors, but I ended up reading the text sections too — she actually explains why a room works instead of just showing pretty pictures. It's sitting on my coffee table now and guests keep picking it up.

The photography alone makes this worth it, especially the spreads of Calderone's own Amagansett home. It's less a coffee table decoration and more a quiet lesson in why a room should feel lived in.
