House Rules: How to Decorate for Every Home, Style, and Budget

This book helped me figure out design principles for why I did like something/way of arranging a room, and why I didn't. And I liked that she encouraged 'shopping' from your house inventory because it can bring a whole new freshness with a re purposed item, or arrangement.

This is The Nester's best book yet! Filled with practical advice and beautiful photos, you'll want to leave this one on the coffee table. She truly has the heart of a teacher and shares her love for all things home in a way that is approachable and fun. Her mission is to set us free to create the home that is uniquely our own, cozy and welcoming - and always reinforcing that it doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful.

This is the kind of book that I will go back to time and time again. Her style is "cozy miinmalism" but it doesn't look like "minimalism" although you could pair it down even more if that's your style. Great ideas in this book for anyone who wants a refresh, or just practical ways to manage your decor.

The book is written in a friendly manner that makes interior design approachable. I like colour and the book is designed around using neutrals.

This is a beautiful book filled with wonderful ideas. It offers a lot of permission for exploration and doing things your own creative way. Each idea it has about a page or so of writing. That’s nice because you can read a little bit or a lot in any single sitting, depending on what you have time for. The photographs are a large and beautiful. It is a joy to read this book, and I think I’ll come back to it time and again. Very glad I purchased it!
