NOVEDADES

A family vacation is supposed to be a lot of fun . . . unless, of course, you’re the Heffleys. Gas station bathrooms, crazed seagulls, a fender bender, and a runaway pig—not exactly Greg Heffley’s idea of a good time. But even the worst road trip can turn into an adventure—and this is one the Heffleys won’t soon forget.

Viola Bowen has the chance of a lifetime: to design a video game based on her all-time favorite book series. The only problem? Her co-lead is Jesse F-ing Andrews, aka her archnemesis. Jesse has made it abundantly clear over the years that he wants nothing to do with her—and Viola has no idea why. When their bosses insist a wintery retreat is the perfect team-building exercise, Viola can’t think of anything worse. Being freezing cold in a remote mountain lodge knowing Jesse is right next door? No, thank you. But as the snow piles on, Viola discovers there’s more to Jesse than she knew, and heat builds in more ways than one.

Everyone wants a stylish home, but with so much information available, how does one begin to put it all together? EnterInterior Design Master Class: 100 Rooms. The designers who’ve created the remarkable spaces in this volume individually explain in their own words the framework for the success of each room. The spaces featured in the book are broken down by type of room, including Gathering (media and family rooms), Transitional (porches and entryways), Respite (bedrooms and sitting rooms), Entertaining (dining rooms and bars), and Utility (kitchens, baths, and mudrooms). In each category, the multiple examples by designers well known from their appearances in Architectural Digest, Elle Decor, and Southern Living explore a variety of topics. Katie Ridder uses her vibrant living room to write about establishing a successful palette. Suzanne Kasler writes about the importance of light in bedrooms. Frances Merrill of Reath Design shares her thoughts about kitchens. Mark Sikes contributes an essay on tables. Steven Gambrel writes about the color blue. Josh Greene expounds on the bath. Also featuring Bunny Williams, Robert Couturier, Heidi Caillier, Miles Redd and David Kaihoi, Nicole Hollis, and Corey Damen Jenkins, the book is an elegant guide to twenty-first-century living, room by room.
