5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great book..., April 11 2002

This review is from: House of Belief: Creating Your Personal Style (Paperback)

I love this book! The photos are exquisite and the writing exceeds anything else you will find on the subject of decorating. This book goes far beyond coffeetable status--it is inspiring all the way around; from the exercises and hands-on decorating rituals to the stories of healing through creativity.
Be prepared to look at decorating in a new way--I have, as a professional designer I am rethinking my work. Thank-you Kelee Katillac.

5.0 out of 5 stars A revolutionary book by an author with heart, April 6 2002

This review is from: House of Belief: Creating Your Personal Style (Paperback)

I saw Kelee Katillac on the Carolyn Myss Show on Oprah's Oxygen Network. I was blown away by her personal story of healing while living in a trailer house--through creativity, .... I couldn't wait to get it so went out and bought it that day. I read it in two days and it has changed my life. Finally I feel good about the creative ideas I had for my home. I always thoughtthat because I wasn't a designer or artist that they must be wrong. Her life and work-with all income levels and types of people shows that we are all creative and our positive ideas are messages from the Creator.

I am now a follower of this idea and am convinced of her message's power;through her newsgroup I have found many others who feel the same and I feel I speak for them too--a person who has given her whole life to help others engenders a lot of loyalty--Katillac even sold her own home's contents to fund a Habitat for Humanity program.

This review is from: House of Belief: Creating Your Own Personal Style (Hardcover)

After reading this book I had so many ideas I didn't know where to begin. I first saw Kelee on Oprah and thought her story was remarkable....her work with Habitat for Humanity is so inspiring. And now I can use her immense spirit and creativity for my own home. She is like a spiritual Martha Stewart but so much more interesting!
