Forever Home, The

We often hear the term "forever home" and think of an imaginary place we want to live in for the rest of our lives, where we've splurged on fantastical details to pass down through generations. However, a forever home can be any space, whether a house or an apartment, where you put down roots, make lasting memories, and feel completely at ease. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by what color to paint your walls or which wall coverings to buy, Mikel Welch takes the stress out of decorating, walking you through approachable design principles to help you create a home you can love for as long as you want. At every step, realistic budgeting is front of mind as Mikel shows when it makes sense to splurge and how else you can save through the art of illusion (AKA making things look expensive without spending a lot of money!).  With forewords by Drew Barrymore and Shea McGee of Studio McGee--as well as photographs of stunning spaces and graphics to illustrate design concepts--The Forever Home walks you through how to create beauty and meaning regardless of budget, through intention, care and the quiet confidence that comes from keeping design personal.   ISBN 978-0-593-79693-1 271 pages
