Expect the unexpected. I thought a lot of good design info. Instead I found a lot of warmth and intimate details of his and others homes. For someone who is into living lightly and recycling much I found myself rethinking what I might share of myself in my home and what really matters being used as "design elements". I think you'd enjoy getting to know these people, their history and the things that matter. So much more than a decorating book. It's the how and why of what makes a personal space personal. And Nate doesn't spare himself - he reveals some very personal details about his life to show you why and how his own rooms are special. The book gives you a chapter each on various individuals, their lives, their likes and loves, with lots of clarity on how a space will be used. Photos accompany each chapter, and I found it helpful to read the chapter first, then analyze the photos for what I'd just read. Truly a beautiful book in every sense of the word. Bravo.
Delight filled book including this: "Stand in your threshold and guard what you allow in."
