See local homicides on our 2016 Murder Map Latest news on Saints moves House of the Week Ratings - High to Low Page 1 of 8See, that’s what the app is perfect for.Jennifer Boles, native Atlantan and founder of pioneering online journal The Peak of Chic, is a welcome antidote to bloggers chasing the latest fads. Her insightful posts take inspiration from old movies, vintage magazines, and classic design books. In 2013 she made an especially strong case for timeless style with her own book, In with the Old. So when we decided to publish a list of must-reads, we knew Boles was the resident expert. Says Boles, “At a time when many readers have embraced e-books, design enthusiasts seem committed to the printed word, eagerly filling their bookshelves with designer monographs and vintage tomes.”
So here is her starter list for a well-rounded design library. Some of these titles are out of print, but are easily available online. And of course, we asked Boles to include a few with Georgia roots.

Private Houses of France: Living with History by Christiane de Nicolay-MazeryEvery design library needs a book or two on elegant French homes, if only to remind you that few people are as inherently chic as the French. De Nicolay-Mazery’s books on French interiors, including this, her most recent, are some of the best.

With its cheery prose on high-gloss paint, black-and-white checkerboard floors, and the power of positive thinking, this book does indeed make decorating fun. Gracious Rooms by Barbara WestbrookThe Atlanta-based designer’s recently published volume features her well-edited and visually rich work, which has not only garnered her praise but has also landed her enviable design projects as far away as New Zealand.
