Over the past couple of years, I have really come to love a variety of coffee table books. Â The first time I ever stepped foot in Anthropologie, over 10 years ago in New York City, I fell in love with their unique selection of books. Â Now, I have quite a collection of books that I have picked up from small boutiques, have a connection to North Carolina, and even some children’s books. Â Today, I wanted to share my favorite coffee table books for your home.

I use a good mix of books to decorate around the house, and I like mixing and matching different themes and sizes. Â I started loving cookbooks when some of my favorite people started writing them. Â Cookbooks have stories weaved in and out of the recipes, and the recipes tell a story of location and family.
What are your favorite books to decorate your home?
