Beau, thank you for sharing some of your favorites. I found the Basquiat book at Target for $22.99. I actually don't mind nudes if they are tastefully done. I tell my kids the human body is beautiful and God made us perfect like works of art. I think most adults see nudes and think sex while kids may see it and think "that person needs to put some clothes on." 😀 I do have semi-nude art, that I got while pregnant, of a mom nursing her baby. It meant a lot to me as a new mom and my girls are ok with the imagery. Since I have little ones, I use reference books as coffee table books. I have some with beautiful photos of architecture, nature, art etc. My eldest would like some with editorials but I think her shopping list would grow astronomically since she is a fashionista. Enjoy your weekend friend! Thanks for all the work you do to present these videos.

Thank you Carmen! I’m glad you enjoyed the video 🙌🏼 nice to hear that you scored a couple busts on FBMP however I have never upcycled a bust, the color of mine is what they came in and all are in varying shades of whites, creams, and ivory. I personal have only used white spray paint once and I used the Rustoleum 2-in-1 paint and primer in a flat white. It’s a stark white though, so keep that in mind!

I hope you'll show us your whole collection! ❤ Quick question, are the fashion house "Catwalk" collection books great investment as well? I've been seeing a lot of these books on IG including the TF which you've showed. Looking forward to all your upcoming vids! Just subcribed to your channel. 🙌
@beaualexander70003 жыл бұрын
Thank you, Joana! I’m so glad you found this video to be helpful in your search 🙌🏼✨ I have the Catwalk Louis Vuitton book (orange cover) amongst others. I prefer the Assouline, Taschen, and Rizolli branded coffee table books for their content (images tend to be a bit better) but really, it’s all about price point for me - I have amassed this collection of books at $34-50 a piece with the exception of just a few special books like Tom Ford, the Louis Vuitton book I showcased here, etc. I also prefer books of a larger size when necessary, so it’s a bit of a toss up! I appreciate you subscribing and supporting my channel 🙏🏼✨

Coffee table books are something no one ever talks about. Your collection is phenomenal. I recently found one that contains covers from The Saturday Evening Post. I love it! My favorites are Ralph Lauren and one I have about the American Revolution . The funniest one I own is The Big Penis Book by Taschen. My aunts gave it to me for my 40th birthday. And yes they do come in all shapes and sizes. 🤣. Trust me, it’s quite the conversation piece. I usually only bring it out when my “up tight” friends are stopping by. 🙄

I feel in this niche there are a select few that are consistently making the rounds, but as you’ve said, there are hundreds of thousands out there and I just think they are so incredible! Like a museum of glossy pages that anyone could get lost in for hours 😍 it sounds like you have quite a few I need to look out for! And though it may not be safe for work, I have definitely skimmed through said book and can attest to your statement. ALL shapes and sizes, indeed! 😆 I love that you said your aunt’s gave it to you, are they a couple or sisters?

Beau! I’ve been really busy lately but things are calming down for me now. You know I have to say hi and comment and say hooray for more subscribers! You are definitely on your way. I just knew your channel would grow 👏👍 I loved your sharing of your fav coffee table books. You were so genius to show the inside pages of the books and describe what each book is about. So many content providers have them on their shelves for show but I doubt not many know or read what’s inside. I am ogling the AD100 book and maybe it will be a Christmas present from Santa! I must have missed a video where you mentioned you had attended fashion school in New York. Was it FIT or Parsons? That explains your wonderful delivery of each video. I think it was one of my first comments to you that I thought when you were presenting and describing each item it sounded as if they were on the runway. Well, must run but another fab video from a fab guy! Mandy fromTucson🌵

Hi Mandy 😍 thank you! I definitely think it’s important to showcase what’s behind the cover, I know everyone’s tired of hearing about the “Tom Ford” book but I have yet to see someone show what’s actually being bought for $80+ 😅 it’s a book that we know and love but there’s hundreds of cool pages behind the black slip cover! So happy to hear that you’ve enjoyed this video and that you’re doing well. I did go to FIT, how I miss it so ❤️
