Good morning lovely people,
As promised yesterday, today I’m gonna show you some pages from this delicious book: Making a house your home by Clare Nolan.
I’m so sorry about yesterday evening post, as you received an e-mail and you couldn’t open the link…It was my mistake…I clicked on the “publish” button instead of the “save as draft” one…and you imagine what happened next…a post that was a small draft part from this one was sent as an e-mail to my susbscribers and I stressed as crazy…deleted the post …but the e-mail was gone and I was like: OH MY GOD OH MY GOD !! for maybe an hour…don’t know what I should do…as nothing could be done
So, this is the original post today…and there was no link to open yesterday night…so sorry again for that…
I’m gonna show you here some of the pages inside the book …plus parts of the comments-reviews I read about the book and found useful. Because I have some difficulties expressing myself in English I choose to copy-paste reviews that was like me writing…
“This book is very unusual in that it isn’t about a famous interior designer’s
signature look, and doesn’t only feature the homes of the plainly loaded.
There’s no encouragement to knock down walls, build ambitious new extensions, or
call in professionals. As the title suggests, the emphasis is on styling:
working with wallpapers and paints, furniture, fabrics and possessions to
decorate, organise and personalise your own house.”
“The lovely pictures aren’t the only attraction. I have literally hundreds of
interiors books and magazines, and the text of this one is easily amongst the
most useful. Nolan gives her professional guidance on topics such as zoning,
colour shading, and sightlines, and good practical advice on everything from
floral arrangement frogs to buying mattresses and getting rid of pet smells.
There are clear ‘how to’ instructions, and many of the rooms are deconstructed
to show just how and why they work. Most design books are quickly forgotten, but
this one was an excellent buy and I can see myself referring back to it often.”
“Brought this for my daughter, but found myself hooked to the book. Lovley
phots’s, great ideas, and certainly something that inspires you to put into
practice. Lots of guidance and tips, If you love your home, your love this book. ”
So, if you wish to purchase online this book, here are for you the amazon U.K and the amazon U.S links. Don’t know why it is much cheaper through amazon U.K …
Have a lovely day!

Oh I am so getting this book! Thanks for the review, you can never be quite sure with these kinds of books whether they’re just going to be a waste of money. But I can see I will LOVE this one. x
Looks like a wonderful book. Just like the ones I love. Thank you so much for the pictures and the review!

I love your website, and your English is quite good. I was able to open yesterday’s post. When you click on the link and it shows an error, you can go to the list of recent postings and it will show as “A Monday morning”.
Thanks for sharing the book. Don’t worry about last night’s post mishap. Mistakes happen, and we have all made them.

Thanks for this rewiew, Angie.
Love Lots of different styles in it , decorating is also “express yourself” and reveal who’s living in.
Have a nice week !
Wow. Quelle excellente trouvaille! Je pense que je vais devoir trouver un exemplaire de ce livre pour moi-même. J’aime ce qu’il comprend une section sur les parfums. C’est si important pour la construction d’une maison paisible et relaxant.
Loving the book!!! Not loving the US price!! Boooooo!!!!!
A book that is practical like that is so much more fun and useful!! It will go into my cart anyhow as a “someday, hopefully!” wish!! 🙂
Thank you for sharing the wonderful pics!! It puts me in the mood to do some rearranging!!!
