India Hicks' Wrapped Books

Like her father before her, David Hicks (and his red leather-bound tomes) India Hicks has her own approach to displaying books and objects in their home. Her trademark, as I'm sure many of you know, is to wrap books in brown postal paper and label them ever-so neatly with labels on the spine.

For more pictures of beautiful, unified bookcases, hop on over to this entry at MA Belle, and this one at Simply Grove. Of course, lest we not forget that Ms. Hicks has a few coffee table books of her very own, including the popular Island Life: Inspirational Interiors.

The beautiful India Hicks in a Diane Von Furstenberg Tuvallu dress - rumor has it she will be hosting Bravo's Top Design next season! Get her dress here, at Saks.

What are your favorite coffee table books? How do you like to display them? Talk to me in comments - I'll do a post later this week of reader recommendations with a link back to your blog.

Hey thanks for the shout-out! How cool would it be to see India host the show?! I was SO CLOSE to auditioning for it this year, but was nervous that I wouldn't have time with RG if i actually got on it! haha- doubt that would have happened though ;)

Love her! I was fortunate to meet her at her store on Harbour Island where she lives in the Bahamas. It was quite the scene - fabulous store!
