Fantastic!

I am not an interior decorator person. I can see rooms/designs that are well done and appreciate them, but cannot do myself... it is a true art form. Several years ago 2 ladies came into my home and consulted on 3 rooms. They gave me a to-do list and they had theirs. A month later they came back (with their husband to do the heavy lifting) and we left... they decorated the rooms with 80% of my stuff and a few things they brought. We came back 2 hours later for the reveal.. it was STUNNING. This book is like being in the minds of those two ladies. I still don't think I could really do it, but I am SO much farther along than I was before. Truly, this book is how they must think to do the amazing work they do. Thank you for giving me insight into how people with this gift process things!! Really fun to listen to and LOTS of great ideas!!

Discovering my home's true style

Diving into this book opened my eyes to a new way of thinking about home design. I was particularly drawn to the concept of wabi-sabi, which celebrates the beauty in imperfections. This approachable guide has inspired me to look at my home in a new light, focusing on personal expression rather than fleeting trends. It's been a refreshing journey to create a living space that's genuinely 'me'.

An inspiring journey!

Great book

I’m not the most creative person so I need any help I can get. This book gave me a new perspective to look at the design and layout of my home. I had never heard of wadi sabi before this book but found the concept really interesting. A great book that has enabled me to see my home in a new light!

This Audio Is Awesome

I was thinking of changing my home decor, well now I have learned from this that I already have done a nice job and I just need to get rid of some clutter and it will feel much better to me. I did think a lot about the lighting and I did do a great job with that as well. Colors were interesting, maybe I can bring a little more color in. Overall this is a really nice audio, it is very helpful, it is very well written and the narrator was bright and cheery and excited it seems taking about this subject! I loved it! Thank you, I now have an interest in my home again!
