It's often thought that restyling your space comes with a hefty
price tag and unavoidable waste. But in Resourceful Living,
award-winning interiors blogger Lisa Dawson shows how, with a
little creativity, you can revamp your home with existing pieces,
vintage finds and key purchases. The clever ideas in this beautiful
book cover: - The most important ways we use our homes, from eating
to sleeping, living and working. - The Basics of steering clear of
interiors 'fast fashion', multi-purposing furniture and making the
most of what you have. - Styling Your Home with simple solutions
for re-imagining each room, from gallery walls to home bars,
repainted storage to retro accessories. Including her top ten key
vintage buys and tips for in-store and online thrifting, Lisa's
inspiring advice shares the fun of creative sourcing as a more
sustainable way to keep your home feeling fresh. 'Resourceful
Living feels like reading a recipe book, not only because of the
delicious interiors images, but because of the simple ingredients
and easy methods that are shared to achieve beautiful living spaces
for yourself.' Melanie Sykes 'I've been a long-time fan and
follower of Lisa's interiors tips. This book really is super
practical as well as beautiful - perfect for anyone looking to be
more interiors savvy.' Rachel Khoo
Have you ever found yourself in a Big Mess from moving house? From
losing a home or being unable to own one? From losing your bearings
within yourself and the world? What was the mess made of? Things?
MORE THINGS? Thoughts? Memories? Emotions? Death? Money matters?
Relationship in tatters? If you are facing the chaos of a house
move, declutter, or even a soul search with no need to move; if
they feel overwhelming, scary, heart-breaking,
this-is-me-and-my-life-disintegrating, read on. Or, rather, tear a
leaf after leaf, peel a layer after layer of your relationship to
the things you'll find around you. This book is about our
relationship to possessions, the loss of home and the search for
one's true home, and about how to use the physical chaos of a house
move to sort through some of the inner psychological chaos. It is
based on the author's experience of 21 house moves (or 40,
depending on how you count). It is psychological-philosophical yet
practical. It is passionate, raw and non-prescriptive but also
forensically analytic. It will leave you feeling freer, lighter,
braver, less swayed by musts and shoulds and other persons'
home-related truths, and more at Home, wherever you are. It doesn't
matter if you are moving house or remain where you live until your
dying day. The house moving is optional in finding your True Home.
YOU making a move, again and again, is not. Ready? Steady? Read.
