I know you’re going to say that I already have loads of books and have run out of space to store them, but I have a cunning plan to renovate the living room before the New Year. 

I am planning on getting the largest Expedit bookcase available from Ikea to store my beloved books, currently double stacked on the existing shelves. So, instead of the lavish gifts that you were planning on giving me for being such a good girl - most of the year – I just want books. Here is the little list:

• Domino: The Book of Decorating: A Room-by-Room Guide to Creating a Home That Makes You Happy
• Hue
• Apartment Therapy: The Eight-Step Home Cure
• Mid-Century Modern: Interiors, Furniture, Design Details (Conran Octopus Interiors)
• The Color Scheme Bible: Inspirational Palettes for Designing Home Interiors
• Apartment Therapy Presents: Real Homes, Real People, Hundreds of Design Solutions
• House Beautiful 500 Sensational Ways to Create Your Ideal Home
• House Beautiful Color Workshop: Decorating Stylish Rooms
• Painted Furniture Decorating Ideas & Projects
