    About this audiobook

    A Practical Guide to Decorating Your Home with Purpose and Personality



    Full of practical action items, The Story of Your Home is your room-by-room guide to creating a home that reflects the personality and purpose of the people who actually live there. So often the designs in magazines and on Pinterest just aren't quite . . . you. You want your home to tell your story, to function well for your family, to make your guests feel at home.



    Our homes are where we create memories, build relationships, and find sanctuary. With the help of interior designer Courtney Warren and her DesignSense Quiz, you'll start by determining the heart behind your home and the story you want to tell through it. She'll guide you through your house, one room at a time, providing tools to stretch you beyond mere aesthetics to the true essence of how you live and what you want your home to say to the people who live in it and those you invite in. Each chapter ends with a section tackling the most asked about design topics.

      Change Is Good—really

      Nov 4, 2022

      I RECENTLY HAD MY HOUSE WHITEWASHED. In two weeks’ time, the interior walls were blanketed white, to match the trim and ceilings. To the surprise of our talented designer/home stager, I agreed without fuss. We were preparing to sell, after all. I was

      The Story of Your Home is more of an invitation into a design story, so its approach is definitely much more conversational with a lot of pop culture references. While there are lovely pictures and useful tips interspersed throughout the book, there isn't anything necessarily new in its content. However, don't let that dissuade you as there are tangible ideas included that can help translate design visions into next steps. To be honest, viewing this book more as a memoir and less of an instructional design guide resulted in a more engaging read. The chapters on celebrating story and the memories that come with them—as a result of special occasions or everyday life—make the whole book worth reading. If readers are looking for a book that can invite you in, just like into a home, Courtney Warren demonstrates that spirit of hospitality and sense of whimsy all at once.

    • 5/5
      I really enjoyed this book, instead of being full of pictures and hardly any real world tips, this book is full of guidance for helping you create a home you love. Would make a great gift for anyone moving, decorating or wanting design inspiration.
