So many fabulous design titles are being released over the next couple of months and <a href="http://jam-design.com/">Jeffrey Alan Marks</a>' first book, <i><a href="http://rstyle.me/~Qkp8">The Meaning of Home</a></i> (published by Rizzoli) is at the top of my list. I love Jeffrey's chic, polished take on effortless California style. His work veers more towards clean and masculine, but he always includes a touch of glamour, which of course, I absolutely love. The various projects featured in the book run the gamut in terms of style ranging from "Breezy, Tailored, and Steady to Brave and At Ease" and while each project is reflective of the individual client's tastes and needs, every space has a definitive "JAM" vibe. <i>The Meaning of Home</i> is filled with stunning images of<a href="http://jam-design.com/"> Jeffrey Alan Marks'</a> most recent projects and personal anecdotes on just exactly what it means to be home. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv6Lw3dKVKXKUhpIIQcBUN5OpWSsQf0rtbzKuV5UofAz_zOEBB-3sVh76qvVJOOlrPRdnPS5A9bw6oZoTRROcfgNg3Xv6R1VsHtxv8WZ5QybiQ0aNLlC7JxQqqOpvYThztKtS-f1CCK-Fu/s1600/Snip20131002_5.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv6Lw3dKVKXKUhpIIQcBUN5OpWSsQf0rtbzKuV5UofAz_zOEBB-3sVh76qvVJOOlrPRdnPS5A9bw6oZoTRROcfgNg3Xv6R1VsHtxv8WZ5QybiQ0aNLlC7JxQqqOpvYThztKtS-f1CCK-Fu/s640/Snip20131002_5.png" width="446" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">{Tavern Restaurant in Los Angeles' Brentwood Neighborhood}</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKMoWhqvj7_W_mX0CrVccRn6lrj3LQNzbW6_VvrvF0SOq-7pVrLgzs1u-mwiI6d7LkgLKTusl8sto3yT6CPUb2vkBOWtWwe7XcWHaysCtjAP_YMexWHiJFlD_cRuTvKW0EnrablteCV38Y/s1600/jam+malibu+kitchen.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKMoWhqvj7_W_mX0CrVccRn6lrj3LQNzbW6_VvrvF0SOq-7pVrLgzs1u-mwiI6d7LkgLKTusl8sto3yT6CPUb2vkBOWtWwe7XcWHaysCtjAP_YMexWHiJFlD_cRuTvKW0EnrablteCV38Y/s640/jam+malibu+kitchen.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">{A Beautiful Kitchen in Malibu}</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcV-DGUv-inma4RHVd3thHOPNhe1cHaJ6pGknJYH6JzXQFpVrQQ7Ryz0QZV9zphF8gTLYumdxXn_IvxamwJ8fRnm4SRcrUhxxeoIS6mWN8-NAbwCjUlt_NMrjHQfHkTAVcEHh27z0XDBun/s1600/jam+santa+monica+bath.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcV-DGUv-inma4RHVd3thHOPNhe1cHaJ6pGknJYH6JzXQFpVrQQ7Ryz0QZV9zphF8gTLYumdxXn_IvxamwJ8fRnm4SRcrUhxxeoIS6mWN8-NAbwCjUlt_NMrjHQfHkTAVcEHh27z0XDBun/s640/jam+santa+monica+bath.jpg" width="484" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">{Jeffrey's Chic Bathroom}</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizKPwTXmMAZlZcFYvs0uppgLlOQ3AnceAS0ph49tezOlR1_uIdZ3FRgUq36UdAtd9Tnpe4rhg2sNwjDN3Q7iMdqZdB0P8a4jeDLEJulTadGu2BcbugXFysfwlU8N4nWDwm1KB-jbOfkGyU/s1600/jam+santa+monica+bath2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="510" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizKPwTXmMAZlZcFYvs0uppgLlOQ3AnceAS0ph49tezOlR1_uIdZ3FRgUq36UdAtd9Tnpe4rhg2sNwjDN3Q7iMdqZdB0P8a4jeDLEJulTadGu2BcbugXFysfwlU8N4nWDwm1KB-jbOfkGyU/s640/jam+santa+monica+bath2.jpg" width="590" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">{I love the monogrammed settee in Jeffrey's bathroom.}</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrSPqlxybjP7jyJr-n1imWtfp3ZQXVE0YA34d12waVjRrr0MZoMH6B8rMAOqV8hksZRXTDTAEo849Ap4RKngVFP0j7TKkqXkF4Jm_JmXLiSxXXFMZ52tf3Xyacv8RQWpOLwIWZisNymYEN/s1600/jam+pacific+palisades+dining+room.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrSPqlxybjP7jyJr-n1imWtfp3ZQXVE0YA34d12waVjRrr0MZoMH6B8rMAOqV8hksZRXTDTAEo849Ap4RKngVFP0j7TKkqXkF4Jm_JmXLiSxXXFMZ52tf3Xyacv8RQWpOLwIWZisNymYEN/s640/jam+pacific+palisades+dining+room.jpg" width="478" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">{I love the deep, saturated shades of blue and green in this Pacific Palisades dining room.

There was something about it that seemed a little too ubiquitous, a little too “done”, and if you search “damask” on Pinterest, you’ll see exactly why I had shied away from it for so long. More often than not it isn’t done “right”. What does it mean to do damask the “right way”, you might ask? Take a look at <a href="http://markdsikes.com/2013/09/19/veeres-devine-delight/">Veere Greeney’s</a> gorgeous London sitting room above. The scale of the pattern is perfect and  I love that he has kept the room tone-on-tone as this is something I do quite often in my own work.
