What's so unique about the houses of London? With row upon row of
brick terraces, how do the capital's most stylish people make their
homes stand out? And how do those living in conversions amplify
their craft to design interiors that are truly distinctive? House
London showcases 50 of the most inspiring contemporary interiors in
the city today. Created by some of the best designers, architects
and creatives around, this book celebrates the amazing variety and
vision that lies behind sometimes quite ordinary facades. Writer
Ellie Stathaki (of Wallpaper*) and photographer Anna Stathaki
explore different interior styles and show the very best of London
homes - from the surprising interiors of humble terraces, to
extraordinary conversions showcasing the height of luxury. Some
homes will provide worthy inspiration, and others a level of drama
most of us can only dream of. With beautiful photography
throughout, each home draws on something uniquely 'London' and
supporting text profiles home owners, architects and designers and
highlights the architectural bones that make up the home. This book
will be a must have for anyone who loves snooping around beautiful
homes, or looking for design inspiration.
Expert organizer and "New York Times" bestselling author Julie
Morgenstern teaches you how to get rid of the physical, mental, and
time clutter that's keeping you from the life you want.
Julie Morgenstern has made a career out of helping her clients get
organized. But in the process, she discovered something surprising:
for many of her clients, organizing isn't enough. For those who are
eager to make a change in their lives--a new job, a new
relationship, a new stage in life--they need to get rid of the old
before they can organize the new. They need to SHED their stuff
before they can change their lives So Julie created the SHED
process--a four-step plan to get rid of the physical, mental, and
schedule clutter that holds back so many of us. But SHEDing isn't
just about throwing things away Julie teaches that its just as
important to focus on what comes before and after you heave the
clutter, so that the changes you make really stick in the long
term. Learn about:
- Separating the treasures (figuring out what really matters)
- Heaving the rest (undertaking the tough work of eliminating
excess)
- Embracing your true identity (figuring out who you really want to
be)
- Driving yourself forward (achieving real change now that the past
isn't holding you back any longer)
Whether you're facing a move, a promotion, an empty nest, a
marriage, divorce, or retirement, "SHED Your Stuff, Change Your
Life" provides a practical, transformative plan for positively
managing change in every aspect of your life.
