Book Description:

Your home should be a refuge from the stresses of everyday life -- the place that is, above all, individual to you, holding your possessions and expressing your tastes and dreams. Creating such a haven requires a little time and thought -- though not necessarily much money,

Helpful hints are offered on such subjects as:
-- Choosing colors, textures, and patterns
-- The uses of natural and artificial lighting
-- Enhancing windows, doors, and flooring

In addition, this book is packed with features on everything from dining to working at home to aromatherapy and bringing the garden indoors. In short, you will find everything you need to make use of all your senses and create your own peaceful home.
