Chapters explore how to craft the right mindset, environment, and how to rediscover your creative mojo." -- Papercrafter "Bombarded by perfect interiors on social and the day-to-day world, its vital to remember that our homes should be places of rejuvenation. This book is the antidote: directing energy away from perfection with attainable projects that encourage you to create a physical space and lifestyle that allows your mind to dream." -- Emerald Street
