Beautiful
I truly enjoy this book on an ongoing basis. It is a joy to own. I love the beauty and artwork of the book.

Inspired me.
This book inspired me to make my house a more warm and welcoming place over the past 2 years. I was sad to see someone gave it a single star. Obviously no book is for everyone, but I have read and re-read Home Warming's pages and it is a book to be savored if you are a person who wants your home to be cozy and usable, but you struggle with the practicalities of how to do it.

This is truly a china, lace, and wicker beauty. To be honest, I don't decorate with lace or with wicker. But there are tea sets in every painting(which I do love). And it is a bit nostalgic.

My family and friends have noticed a difference in my home after reading and applying the suggestions hidden in this book. It is not a "how-to" book so much as a "this is what I have noticed seems to work" book.

I am very much an HGTV fan, but this book takes decorating one step farther to being people-and-daily-comfort-focused.

A lot of fluff
I wasn't that impressed with the book. I flipped through it in just a few minutes.
