In her second book, titled The Perfectly Imperfect Home: How to Decorate and Live Well, Deborah Needleman explores the 80 essentials everyone needs to create a stylish home without having to sacrifice character. With 13 chapters that touch on everything from lighting and bed-making to cleverly titled, broader concepts like "Jollifiers" and "Glamifications," Needleman guides you through ways to embrace imperfection and offers tips on how to endow your home with a sense of personality.
Featuring beautiful watercolor images by famed illustrator Virginia Johnson, the pages depict and pull inspiration from interiors by influential taste-makers like Yves Saint Laurent, Kate Spade & Miles Redd (just to name a few).
Thanks to the timeless advice and artful production, we are betting The Perfectly Imperfect Home will easily become an instant classic upon its release on November 1st.

Where are the excerpts you mention? I just see watercolors.
I get the idea behind using the watercolors to seem timeless, but in practice I'm getting a J.Peterman vibe. I guess it's hard to tell without the excerpts.
let me say first that deborah needleman is the only reason i buy the wall street journal on saturdays, love that off duty section and the magazine, the watercolors are charming, but a little copy might tempt me more.
Well, sure, everything looks good in cute little watercolors.
watercolor is a very noble rendering medium
