Family-Friendly Interiors

I had to laugh when I saw the adorable tiny closet where clothes are hung on the level a child could reach them. What a cute idea. The Testu Family Home also has some interesting ideas for hanging pictures. The Cottage was quite cozy and the City Chic kitchen was pretty amazing. The Alber's home had a wonderful idea for placing the washer and dryer in a specially built cabinet. 8 homes are featured in this book: The Testu Family Home - French Flea Market The Adams Family Home - Collectible Cottage The Burch Family Home - Remade Ranch The Oberoi Family Home - City Chic The Addison Famly Home - Romantic Renaissance The Alber Famly Home - Bungalow Bliss The Tanov-Emerson Family Home - Euro Nouveau The Wanlass Family Home - Contemporary Country Style Tips and a Style Checklist are included for each chapter. These are houses filled with sensible and stylish solutions that are not only affordable, they give each home its own personality. The homes range from romantic and country to contemporary. Tirzah Ortiz-Wanlass and Jonathan Ortiz are a real-life sister-and-brother team who love to share their fashionable and practical home design advice. They prefer to think of themselves as life-stylists and their work has been featured in Better Homes & Gardens, Decorating and Country Home magazines. A detailed resource guide has been included.
