I was disappointed with this book, I was really looking forward to this after watching their show, I finished the book and shortly after heard they announced their divorce shortly after, I found much of the book to be
fake especially based on the advice they provide to couples.
I really liked this book, It has a similar feel to Erin Loechner's Chasing Slow, Cute book, with sound house and life advice, Beautiful pictures and stories! This book is like sitting down for a chat with Kortney and Dave Wilson.
I found a lot of interesting information in this book and loads of helpful tips, I can see reading this book before designing or even redecorating your house would be very helpful.
A few tips I picked up: Decorate in odd numbers, when hanging pictures, use a frame that contrasts with your wall colour, don't be afraid of paint you can always change the colour if you don't like it.
This book is broken down by topics some only a page long, There doesn't seem to be any specific order to how they are arranged in the book, so you can pick it up and read from wherever no need to read cover to cover.
The Wilson's also include personal stories, These two are broken down into short segments, so you it doesn't read like a biography at all.
I thought all the quotes were super annoying, From the beloved couple behind Masters of Flip, a warm and inviting guide to making wherever you are feel like home
Home isnt just a place to sleep and eat.
Its a havena place of refuge from the world, of connection with the people and pets you hold most dear, of celebration of lifes biggest moments and of recuperation from the exhaustion of the day.
