집과의 사랑

I bought this after leafing through a friend's copy and the 15 house tours are even better than I remembered. The advice on making rooms feel comfortable rather than staged is what stuck with me, and I've already flagged a few layouts to try in my own living room.

The photography alone is worth it — I've gone back through the interiors section three times already. What surprised me is how much practical advice is woven in alongside the 15 houses, especially on making a room feel easy and comfortable rather than staged.

The chapter on that Connecticut farmhouse alone was worth the price — I kept flipping back to the kitchen photos for ideas. Fifteen houses sounds like a lot, but each one gets real attention, and her notes on making rooms feel lived-in rather than staged actually stuck with me.
