Favorite Books of 2013

Below are, in alphabetical order, my 10* favorite books that I reviewed on this blog, on my weekly page, on Designers and Books, or on Houzz at some point in 2013. Keep in mind that the books weren't necessarily released in 2013, just that I read and reviewed them during the year. My favorite projects will be posted next week.

*The list is actually 11 books, considering that one title consists of two volumes.
