I picked up Home Sweet Maison because I read a review that billed it as the "anti-minimalism" bible. I am personally not a fan of minimalistic decor. I want my home to feel warm, lived in and cherished. This book outlines how to do that with a French flair. It turns out, much of my instinctive decorating follows French traditions. While a few things were instructive (like the section on home offices, libraries, and personal archives) I mostly felt reassured that I am making solid home choices. A French home won't change your life, it will enrich it.

As a self-proclaimed Francophile I enjoyed this book. Consider it to be a peek behind the doors of french homes. While I read this mostly just out of curiosity there were a few things in here that I look forward to incorporating into my home.

Really interesting! Fun to think about other ways of being. Gives me the warm fuzzies and plenty of inspiration!
