Factory Convent Schoolhouse Home: Soulful Transformations of Unusual Spaces
Not yet published
Expected 6 Oct 26A one-of-a-kind design book, showcasing transformations of unusual and non-traditional buildings into stunning, soulful homes.
An air control tower in Scotland. A historic carpenter’s shop in Madrid. A laundromat in Texas. A medieval convent in Tuscany. None of these may seem the most obvious candidates for a beautiful, soulful family home—but that is just what each one has become in the hands of their curious and creative new stewards.
In this book interior stylist and hotelier Lynda Gardener and photographer Lean Timms take us on a world tour of some the most astonishing home renovations you’ve ever seen. In listening to a building, whether it’s a piano factory or a fire station, and responding with restraint and imagination, these homeowners show us that we have the power to create homes that go beyond the expected to become something extraordinary.

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
4.5/5
I just love looking at photos of well-designed and unique places.
These are mainly beige-leaning interiors, but they're not a sad beige! They're a historical and unique and cool and textured beige. I did especially enjoy the colorful ones.
These were all just so cool. if you love unique design full of character, you'd really like looking through this book!
Thanks to NetGalley for the e-ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review!
