If These Walls Could Talk: Give Your Home Personality One Decorating Decision at a Time

By Carmel Phillips

Book Overview

Aspiring decorators will learn to bring their homes to life and show off their family's unique personality through personal and deliberate design choices.

Look around your home right now. Are your spaces filled with furnishings and decor that represent who you are or who you want to be? Or do your rooms reflect someone else's vision you saw online or in a book?

Much like a skilled author carefully crafts each setting in a novel, your home should tell the story of you. Rather than adopting the next newest style trending on social media, home decorating expert Carmel Phillips, creator of the Our Fifth House blog shows you how to break free from the pressure of comparison and make thoughtful design decisions that display your family's one-of-a-kind tastes, interests, and aspirations.

With practical help, tips, and tricks, Carmel helps you reframe the way you see your home and encourages you to embrace slow decorating--collecting meaningful new, heirloom, and thrifted items over time--and incorporating vibrant colors and patterns that energize you.

Your home has a story to tell. It's time to make it yours.
