STYLE AT HOME (September 2005) Jenn Houlihan

"What is an emotional house? No it's not a crying condo, angry apartment or bereft bungalow! Authors Robyn and Ritchie describe it as a home that's practical, organized, inviting, reflective of its owners and an easy place to just be. Sounds great, but how do you achieve that? A three-part plan - your blueprint, your foundation, your house - identifies what you do and don't love about your house, looks at the practical and emotional function of each room, then helps you purge, redesign and start fresh."

 

ST. PETERSBURG TIMES Homes section (Florida) namesThe Emotional House to its must read list of decorating books.

"An interesting look at ways to pull together a personal style, including ideas on creating a homey kitchen, anchoring a room with art and creating mood with color."

 

BE-JANE.com recommends The Emotional House as... "a definite need for anyone blocked as to how to proceed with fixing or changing their home."

"We found this book to be an interesting insight into your own needs and desires in creating your ideal home in ways that you would have never imagined."
