Acclaimed as one to the country's top one hundred interior designers by both Metropolitan Home and Architectural Digest, Vicente Wolf is the uncontested master of cool, luminous rooms that combine strength and sensuality. From a rich but disciplined palette of materials, he creates a signature minimalism that is simple, handsome, and eminently comfortable. In Learning to See, Wolf shares the secrets of his alchemy, insights into a design process that he says starts with taking his traveler's eye into every environment. If you, like he, can simply transfer the special excitement and intense sensations you feel when you are in nature or when you first encounter something exotic to the way you want to feel on entering a room for the first time, you can learn to see. With incisive text and more than one hundred sixty photographs, Wolf walks you through this process. While providing step-by-step instructions on such practical matters as how to create floor plans, treat windows, arrange furniture, hang pictures, use flowers and mirrors and other accents, he helps instill confidence to trust your own aesthetic inspiration.
Full of simple, yet rich interiors that he designed and photographed, the book teaches valuable lessons in creating spaces with soul.

First off, I appreciate books that include a level of difficulty with each project. Many sewing books do not, and, when you are a beginner like me, it is truly helpful.
I also prefer sewing books that have general notes & techniques in the front as opposed to the back because, for some reason, my mind finds it more easy to flip back to a reference point in the front than the back of the book.
Another thing that is neat about this book is that it is a collective and the name and website of each designer is given at the end of each project. I really liked that feature, too.
By far, my favorite project is the House Camera Cozy - so cute, so very Japanese! However, a very involved project and one that this mom of 2 young children will probably not have time to start (let alone finish) any time soon - the list of materials needed is at least 20 itesm long!!!
This is another book that, for me, is more eye candy than practical project book.
Projects I might make from it in the future include:
- Flower Coasters
- Camera House Cozy
- House Mug Mat
- Sahsiko place mats (note: maybe best to get a book on sashiko)
- Bunny Wallet
- Room Shoes
Books like these are great for their Resources page(s) and this book is no exception. How else can I find out where to find cute little Japanese notions?
