Open Book
8 Nov
When looking through images of styled rooms, I’m always checking to see what stylists do to make the room feel more real; what tricks are used to appear like people are using the space.
Looking through Emily’s portfolio, I noticed she does the open book thing quite often. I guess you can say she inspired me because I too have done the open book thing, here.
Cool, right?

I’ll turn your pages anytime girl
Gives a nice touch…love these rooms!

Will definitely have to remember this little trick!
