This book if beautifully put together and tells the home story of several very diverse places. I love the art/photography and how everything is put together on the page. Very inspiring.
I am a huge fan of Jeremiah Brent's and I love to follow his work on instagram, HGTV, and magazine publications. His book is everything I thought it would be: a celebration of beautiful spaces, design, and what it means to create a beautiful family and a beautiful home. I savored every page and photo - I loved it!
Thank you to William Morrow and NetGalley for this ARC.
A truly lovely book about the place we call home he shares with us the love he has for the home he shares with his partner.The feeling of comfort when you open your door and can relax.He shares Oprah's home in Montecito how she loves to be surrounded by trees and she has picture windows to look out at them from each room.There are pictures accompanying the stories a pleasure to read and look at.#netgalley #the space that keeps you.
I thought this would be more visual but it was almost a meditation. The photographs were kind of plain and meant more to the author than the reader. I did like how it talked about how important space is and how our homes change us when we have a real relationship with our personal space.
Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this
I feel I must do a disclosure here. I have enjoyed Jeremiah Brents' work as seen on his television shows. He is very relatable to people from all walks of life. In his book though, I did feel that he was speaking of those who had more expensive homes than most of us. If you can get past that, you will find that he writes perfectly about the meaning, and the feeling of "home". I may not of found myself in the homes within the book, but I definitely was in the feeling of sanctuary and peace as he wrote of what "home" meant to him. That is what home means to me. It's not only what's inside, but what's outside, and most of all who you share it with. I thank NetGalley and William Morrow for the advance read.
I was interested in this book because of the title, but it was not quite what I expected. It is more about interior design, when I hoped it would delve into the construct of space. This book provides an intimate peek inside the homes of a small array of people. There are some interesting insights, but everything skews toward expensive. I wish there were more diversity in the representation of "interior design" and
