The Relaxing Bliss of Your Own Home, Nov 4 2004
By Patricia Robak - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Stress Free Home: Beautiful Interiors for Serenity and Harmonious Living (Hardcover)
This beautifully-designed book immediately reveals twin pleasures: Jackie Craven's calm, intelligent, informative text, and high-quality photographic imagery of the most harmonious and inviting interiors I've ever seen.If you aren't totally inspired to simplify, beautify, and personalize your domestic space by the time you glide through the first nine chapters - covering the timeless wisdom of many cultures plus comfort, health, balance, and the gratifying sensual experiences of color, scent, sound, and texture - then you certainly will be after Chapter 10, "Deeper Meanings." Here, the author acknowledges our greatest emotional stressors: "Excess Responsibility", "Insecurity and Worry", "Frustration", "Conflict", "Loss", and "New Beginnings." She expresses an empathetic understanding of the impact of each of these, and offers easy and useful suggestions for improving your personal environment to encourage a soothing and healing atmosphere.
A tranquilizer between two covers, this is a lovely and restorative book which reminds us that our potential to create a peaceful and mindful life begins at home.
