E-grāmata: Heirloom Rooms: Soulful Stories of Home

Erins new book, Heirloom Rooms, is something that lives on my desk because I love to look at it and go through a page at a time. Its one of my favorite books and it is so phenomenal. Drew Barrymore These are the rooms for memessy, warm, and filled with stories. Erin Napier is full of lovefor houses, for the past, for what a family brings to a space that transforms it into a home.  Emma Straub, New York Times bestselling author of This Time Tomorrow "As a Mississippi writer whose every word is attached to home and a simpler time and place, Heirloom Rooms is the book that I wish I had written. If I had known that unmade beds would one day be celebrated in a book, I could have saved myself fifty years of anxiety and guilt knowing my daughter, of all people, would make it inspirational." Karen Rasberry, IPPY Award-Winning Author, Erin's Mom I like it. I really like the sheets and blankets and stuffies on my bed. I like Halloween at our house when we put decorations up as a family and we were having fun together. Im eating right now, Mama. Helen Napier, Erins daughter, age 5 "Almost everyone resonates to the idea of home, for many reasons. But to articulate what home means specifically is more difficult. HEIRLOOM ROOMS: Soulful Stories of Home speaks artfully, nearly kaleidoscopically, to the idea of what home is--or can be--in ways that are beyond inspiring. I looked at the beautiful photos many times, seeing something new each time. I loved the prose: friendly, intimate, full of heart and, yes, soul; sometimes practical, sometimes funny, often times downright poignant. (The thoughts Erin shares in the preface about her grandmother leaving her house brought me to tears--me, and my partner, too.) Comments made by Erin's friends about their own houses added other helpful perspectives and dimensions. I finished reading this book with deeper reverence for what my home means to me, and with a newfound confidence that I can trust my instincts to make the place where I live truly reflect me, as well as the things and people I care so deeply for. Thank you, Erin, for teaching me that sometimes an errant sock is not so much clutter as proof that someone you love is nearby." Elizabeth Berg, author of The Story of Arthur Truluv  Napiers fans will relish the personal anecdotes, and the emphasis on everyday living offers a down-to-earth alternative to the luxurious abodes that populate most home design books. This charms. Publishers Weekly
