January 29, 2012
"This is a book to help make home life easy,
while also showing how to put together a
casual, breezy style. There is a simple mantra:
make your home work hard for you,
so you don't have to."
--Judith Wilson
Does your home WORK for you?
Lord have mercy, I mostly feel enslaved by mine
so I need all the help I can get.

ReplyDeleteI'm only half enslaved by my home and even that's to much so I'll take all the help I can to stop! Looks like a fabulous book with some common sense.

Love the saying have your home work hard for you ,I so agree! I think I use to be a slave to my home and now I totally enjoy it and am relaxed about it. Love being home doing nothing if I choose. These books both sound like good reads,Happy Monday, Kathysue

check out that heavenly thick chopping block on that kitchen island... whoa, love it. I'm not sure if my house works for me... i'm always so busy thinking about what i want to change, or add, i'm not sure if i often just appreciate it just as it is... And,... i'm clueless as to how to use the remote control for the tv!

I thumbed through this book in a shop and the inspiration alone took my mind to a very serene and lovely place. The rooms with walls of books are my kind of places. This book is on my wishlist!
