book-look: segreto:secrets to finishing beautiful interiors

i was recently contacted by leslie, the owner of segreto finishes, a premier decorative painting and plastering company based in houston, texas. leslie recently wrote and self-published her first book, Segreto: Secrets To Finishing Beautiful Interiors, a 300 page oversized boutique coffee table book filled with stunning interiors with a focus on why different finishes were chosen for different architectural and design styles. 
i was thrilled when leslie sent me a copy of her book, and i was able to see some of the beautiful finishes showcased. the book is really beautiful, and is filled with calming, layered spaces featuring leslie's handiwork. 
here a a few of my faves: 








since the book was self-published, leslie decided to self-distribute it as well! don't you love a lady who can take charge like that? the book is only available at select book stores, but lucky for you, you can buy it online here.

click here to see segreto finishes web page (there is an additional link here where you can purchase the book), and here for leslie's blog, which is full of gorgeous inspiration pictures, and totally worth a visit!

happy weekend friends!
