Home Sweet Maison: The French Art of Making a Home by Danielle Postel-Vinay

3.0

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.
