Summary:
"A Home to Share" is all about the spirit of welcome: It is a guide to giving new life to underused spaces, and to bringing cozy, truly livable decor to every room of the house-including outdoor rooms to extend home space in temperate weather. Friends and family are Leslie Saeta's true north, so she has also woven in plenty of signature entertaining ideas for hosting relaxed gatherings large and small. Saeta's My 100 Year Old Home is known for designing inviting interiors where family and guests love to linger. Using examples from her own cozy farmhouse designs, Saeta shares favorite go-to techniques and shows readers how to blend furnishings and accessories to get the look they love. She also adds a fresh spin, with room-by-room advice for redesigning (and getting the most out of) underused spaces like the dining room and overlooked corners, hallways, and nooks. With her thoughtful and encouraging approach, she gives readers the tools and confidence they need to refresh their space, entertain, and design a home that feels just right. A Home to Share is the book with folded corners and bookmarks highlighting favorite ideas. It is the book that you will carry around and keep in sight on your kitchen island or bedside table for planning and dreaming your own home refresh or renovation"-- Provided by publisher.
