Home Comforts With Style: A Design Guide For Today's Living

by mary-gilliatt

The perfect follow-up to Mary Gilliatt's Complete Room by Room Decorating Guide , this book takes readers through all the steps needed to decorate anything from a whole house down to one room, cleanly and basically with not only confidence and style, but heart and soul. Gilliatt takes homeowners through an entire house, helping them to consider what it is that makes them comfortable—both physically and emotionally—and considering all five touch, sight, taste, hearing, and smell. Topics range from darkness when sleeping and quiet spaces for reading or resting, to comforts of different family members, flea market finds, and family heirlooms. Gilliatt shows homeowners how to find sanctuary in their homes whether they are spending time relaxing, entertaining, being with family or pets, doing hobbies, cooking and eating, reading, or any of the other activities that go into their daily life.The latest from "the 'First Lady' of design-made-simple. . ."— BooklistOutstanding photography coupled with expert, clear, and insightful textGives readers a road map to follow when undertaking the formidable task of decorating or redecorating a homeGilliatt is a frequent guest expert on major home decor programsGilliatt's books have sold over 1.5 million copiesCovers every room, including kitchens and bathrooms
