I was introduced to Mark Sikes designs several years ago when I ordered some beautiful Mark Sikes hurricane vases, wrapped in rattan, from Anthropologie. I ordered them for an outdoor party and never put them away. Even when winter came, they moved to my bar next to the Malibu Rum. The two became perfect neighbors. More Beautiful is a definite go buy book. It is 270 pages published by Rizzoli and retails at $45.00.
Mark Sikes indeed shows us that no matter where you look, beauty is everywhere. Mark writes in the introduction that beauty manifests itself in the simplest things, a smile, a neatly made bed dahlias popping like fireworks in the late summer. Ivory embroidered curtains; dancing unfettered in the breeze. I really do love this book. The photography is superb, and the text is full of sweet stories and great design advice.
