Yesterday’s PillartoPost.org blog profiled San Diego based author Caitlin Rother’s latest true crime work “Then No One Can Have Her.” Next Sunday we blog about Caitlin’s latest work in fiction “Naked Addition. In the meanwhile, New Year brings news of two books penned and published by other Southern California friends.
Brooke Giannetti is a Calfornia-based
interior decorator, shop owner, and blogger. Brooke’s projects often
incorporate Belgian and Swedish antiques paired with industrial and outdoor
elements. Brooke frequently collaborates with her husband, architect Steve
Giannetti, on projects as well as their home store Giannetti Home.
I met them
at an event at San Diego Home/Garden Lifestyles magazine just before she
launched her first design book “Patina Style.”
She just announced her second book “Patina Farm” has been published by
Gibbs Smith and will hit the newsstands in March. Pre-orders can be made on Amazon.
Brooke and
Steve’s work has appeared in Veranda Magazine, Luxe Magazine, C Magazine,
Romantic Homes, Country Living, Coastal Living, HGTV, New Old House, Rue
Magazine, New York Times and San Diego Home/Garden Lifestyles.
Brooke began
her blog Velvet & Linen in 2009 to share her inspirations, and the projects
she and Steve are working on. Velvet & Linen now reaches 150,000 readers
every month and was named by the Washington Post as one of the Top 10 Design
Blogs. Brooke and Steve live in Ojai with their children, 3 dogs, 3 mini goats,
2 mini donkeys, 12 chickens, and a house bunny.
