1. I already own Muriel en Diane’s book about Belgian architects and their interior (which appeared in a previous ‘pretty things’ post about books), and I love love love that book. So after seeing their newest book about Belgian designers and their interior, this is next on my wish list.
2. Joseph Gordon-Levitt (I’m sure all of you know him from the movie ‘500 days of summer’) published a book under the motto: “The universe is not made of atoms; it’s made of tiny stories.” Therefor he asked Americans to send in illustrations and super short stories, of which 60 made it into ‘The tiny book of tiny stories, volume 1‘, which is nothing more than a collection of inspiring mini stories, and that’s probably all it needs to be. I haven’t read it, but I expect this to be a great gift for a loved one, and I wouldn’t mind getting one myself!
3. If I were a man, this would be my bible. ‘The moustache grower’s guide‘ helps every man to achieve his dream mustache, and since my love for mustaches is endless, my male friends can all expect this book as a birthday gift, until none of my friends is without a mustache. Making the world a better place one mustache at a time!
4. Stefaan Pauwels and Dominique Nzeyimana from knotoryus released a book (available at colette or as an ibook version), filled with inspirational photos, drawings and words. Looks like a book I need on my coffee table. (source)
5. ‘Living in brussels‘ is a collection of 20 interiors in our Belgian capital. As far as I can tell from the sneak peeks at I love Belgium, this is another book I’d love to get my hands on.
6. Photography is unfortunately a very expensive hobby, but luckily you don’t need an expensive camera to make beautiful photos. ‘Pin hole cameras, a do-it-yourself guide‘ shows how you can make pinhole cameras from objects which you can find in every household.
7. ‘The guerrilla art kit‘ by Keri Smith (which I’m sure you all know from ‘wreck this journal’) gives you all the inspiration you need to start an arty revolution. Let’s get crafty!
