20 pretty coffee table books

last weekend, i got to help my friend kyla do some desk styling (soo much fun; more on that soon), and it was great practice for the bookcases i'll need to be styling shortly in our office! she had great stuff to work with, which made the process really easy, including the perfect stack of a quintessential styling ingredient: the coffee table book. it made me realize it's time to get off the sidelines and commit to a few books of my own.

it needs to be pretty, obviously, but i'd also love it to be a great read. (and no prejudice against paperbacks once in a while- more book for a better price)! here are a few titles i'm eyeing:
