This book was perfect. The boys were so down to earth and upfront about everything. They made everything so approachable, and I loved that.

Each section was filled with the right kind of information without being overwhelming or pompous. It felt like two humans wrote it and not just another influencer couple blowing smoke up our butts.

Easy read & fun to flip through. Nothing too in depth.

A fun, quick, jam-packed read that covers decorating, food recipes, cocktails, converting a vintage trailer (my favorite), and more!!! Perfect read for a dreary Sunday 😉

Great book for a new home owner that focuses on creating a welcoming home and for entertaining.

This is a cute and fun book for a very young person moving into their first home. I liked the fact that it featured a same sex couple which was great. Absolutely nothing new here for anyone not in their 20s.

Library table got me again! Great ideas! I loved the voice - I laughed more than you probably should in a homemaking book but it was a good time.

I’ve been following these guys for years on socials and I was so excited when they released a book. I read about half this book when I moved into my apartment earlier this year and I just finished it today because I got a second wind of the nesting urge and needed some more inspiration. I got so many good ideas from this book that have really helped me decorate and get settled into my space! They made things very approachable and accessible for people ballin on a budget or renting. It was also just so pretty and nice to look at, I felt like a child with a picture book :)

I didn’t think I was in need of redecorating or renovating tips, but after reading this book I cannot wait to try a few new projects. Loved the dowel rod as a plant hanger and there is so much more

Really enjoyable read even though I won’t do anything with my house in the near future.

Nice modern (not stuffy, not married to a particular vision) of a practical home design and organization guide.

[J · Rating 4 out of 5]

The funniest interior design book I've ever read! They give great, practical little tips.

A fun and witty home design book with clever anecdotes and do-what-you-love advice on making a home a home.
