20 JulCheck out this article from the New York Times–“6 Stores Across the World Are a Feast for Design Nuts”–at: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/19/arts/19iht-design19.html?_r=1

Oprah’s Santa Barbara library (or, why I cry myself to sleep at night)
Ok, so Oprah has pretty much everything one could ever want. Established. But, it was when I first laid eyes on her custom-curated library in an issue of “O at Home” magazine that she’d finally broken my heart. This room is my dream. Oprah, shmoprah!
