Remodelista
A Manual for the Considered Home
Julia Carlson
2013
"This is a start-to-finish field guide to creating your own domestic sanctuary," is how the editors of Remodelista describe this hardcover companion to their widely successful blog. With a forward by Juliane Moore, the book is a montage of some of the best looking homes you'll want to emulate.
The "manual" is a great resource and would make a fine gift this holiday. It features "Twelve Houses We Love" (and why they work) with approachable and easy ideas. There are resources and design secrets -- really it's restful just to look at the pictures. They also do some heavy lifting on illuminating the small details and how to find and apply them that can make all the difference in a great home.
Remodelista.com was started by four women with a similar sensibility and curiosity on how to bring an elegant touch to your home without breaking the bank. And do yourself a favor and add the website to your bookmarks. Moore does--for education and entertainment. What's not to love!
Juliana Carson is the editor-in-chief of Remodelista, which was launched six years ago as a digital guide to the home design process. She started as a design writer and editor.
