Emily Chalmers

I’m not a fan of mid-century modern, having grown up with it. But this book is more about having fun. Glass bottles lined up along the windowsill holding cuttings and flowers, silverware in pots instead of drawers, bright fabrics, toy collections, huge canvasses of sun-dappled woodlands. Lots to enjoy.

I got this book from the library and maxed out my renewals on it before I got to eat it all up, so then I ordered it from Amazon! It's absolutely gorgeous and full of awesome decorating ideas using items that other people have tossed aside. It's done in a way so that it's beautiful and not tacky. I only wish I had places in town that I could dig up the kind of stuff that's used in this book.

Really cool book. It's like my dream house in book form! I definitely took some inspiration for my own home from this book.

budget. The book separates chapters by spaces : resources and index.
