Home

BLURB

Home is a worldly exploration and celebration of the home. It sits outside the usual interiors genre and is an eclectic mix of stories, histories, how-to, recipes, musings, lessons learnt, aesthetics, creativity and ambience. A book that is profound and inspirational, wise and playful it pays reverence to comfort and individuality. Like a podcast within a book, it's a much-needed virtual cuddle. A gentle nudge to value slowing down, to appreciate contemplation. To see our homes as a cocoon. That our home is our nest, our safe place to recharge and rest, explore and be our unguarded self. With tenderness and care our attachment grows. It's about pleasure and nurturing, about varying ideas of physical and emotional comfort. It reminds us to appreciate the beauty in the everyday. It's not what you do there that matters most, often it's what you don't do. Home is where the real you is clearly seen. Our homes are the very essence of us. Quintessentially so. They're where we explore and develop our individuality more deeply than anywhere else. They are a concentrate of all we are. Home is a world you can change.
