More than ever, the home is the emotional focal point of the American family. We’re spending more time and money repairing, expanding, making the home the expression of our values and our dreams. Celebrating Home celebrates that ideal as it shows how to decorate and entertain for holidays all year round. From New Year’s Day, Easter, mothers day, Fourth of July, and Halloween to Christmas Day, each holiday presents the chance to create dozens of easy-to-do decorating projects and crafts ideas that will enhance any home and make it the emotional touchstone we long for. The 200 beautiful photos show what the front door, the mantel, the dining-room table might look like from season to season, as well as showcasing the many simple, inspiring projects that will make every day more special. Bring the holidays—all the holidays—home this year, with Celebrating Home.

this book was filled with beautiful photography of a beautiful home. i absolutely love the changing seasons, and the holidays that come along with each of them, and this book definitely had me excited for the upcoming year.

it wasn't so much full of "how-to" types of crafts, or recipes or anything. just simple suggestions for ways to decorate entryways, mantels, tables, headboards, etc. i just wish it had focused a little more on Valentine's Day. I think Valentine's Day is such a beautiful holiday for decorating, and there was only one photo devoted to the day.

One of my favorite books. I used this book as a blueprint for much of the renovation in my 100 year old farmhouse. I just wish they had a book that dealt with the process of renovating this beautiful house!
