So many ideas! So many cool rooms! So many clever adaptations! I found myself looking around my house at all the cruff* I've accumulated over the years and thinking about how to organize and rearrange and, to use their term, edit my belongings. Why not just take pictures of some of the things I love but don't really use - make a beautiful album - and sell or give away or donate these belongings that are weighing me down. I'd be a better person and have a nicer home for it.
Oh, turn away, turn away, before it's too late and you find yourself living in 600 square feet and wondering how you can pare down from there. This is the stuff of dreams, on a newer and more responsible level. It's not house pron, but it's close - call it Architectural Digest for the rest of us.
Beautifully photographed, interesting explanations, a web site for updates, and an infectious enthusiasm for the subjects and their homes. What's not to like?
I'll be reading and thinking about this design book for years to come.
*cruff: crap and stuff ( )
