I guess you could refer to this book as a design source book which is combined with a sketch/decorating book that has pages for gluing and doodling some of your favorite ideas. At the back is slip envelope for swatches, colour cards, and clippings; prompt pages for jotting lists of paint and furnishings you’ve bought or are planning to purchase.

If you’re into recycling, fixing up houses or are simply planning dreams for your new home, here’s the essential place to stash and keep track of everything.
The Home Design Doodle Book by Marian Parsons is a doodle/ journal book, so it’s the kind of book that far better in paper format than Kindle format. I like the inside of the book, very pretty, and creative with a lot of beautiful pictures,would make a perfect gift idea.
