I got this terrific little book by Christine Eisner, a little while ago and am feathering my nest. No I am not tearing up the pages, but the tips and ideas in "Comfort Living" are making my inner Martha come out. The photos are beautiful and serene, and I would love to live in them. To smell the candles, lean back on the pillows and just be. It is not really a decorating book, but using what you love, your treasures, doing away with your obstacles, building your own "campfire" for warmth and comfort, making your house into a warm and welcoming home, this book has it all.
There was also a workbook, so the 8 week plan is going to start after the first of the year. I love a home, instead of a house. Even with my admitted messiness, I am striving to make this a loving, warm and wonderful home. To that end, I am getting rid of a lot of "stuff", to clear my obstacles. Going through closets, giving to charity, just lightening my load. This book was the impetus! If you are looking for a balance in the New Year, check this out. It is terrific!
I received this book from Rebecca at Cadence Marketing Group. Thanks so much!
What a great time of year to read a book like this. My place is small and in chaos. It's not relaxing to be home these days.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad to hear that you liked my book... We all have that person inside us that, when we do something "kind" for our home, we stand back and say, "Wow, I did that. How cool is that?!"
ReplyDeleteMy book is about small steps that actually can make a difference in how and where we live.
I can tell you, I'm no Martha (I can't deal with all the fuss of her approach), but I sure believe that the greener grass is right under our feet - if we take the time to realize it.
Thanks again!
