Summary: The pictures are divine...
Review: And the text makes you think about things that you are probably never going to think about in today's madcap and rushed society, simple things like natural lighting, linen textures, plants for detoxifying your environment, etc. There is just one thing that frustrated me about this book. On pages 54 and 55 there is the most amazing sofa I have ever seen, but there is no mention of where it came from or how to get one like it. Some of the references are clearly European and cannot be found in the States. But the overall philosophy is simple- we are animals and we need to slow down and rediscover our sensual being. And once you have found this simple mindset, you will see ways to make it happen all around you.

Summary: Beautiful
Review: I borrowed this book from the library. Then I ordered 3 and then 2 more to send as gifts to the women in my family, neighbors, friends. I'll have to order more...This book teaches you how to fully enjoy your home as a place of peace and creativity. Bravo Ms.Crawford of England! The beauty of the cover alone makes this a lovely coffee table book.

Summary: Not much content, but beautiful photos.
Review: This book offers a unique look at life at home. Through appealing graphic images, and photography, the author explores how easily we forget our senses in modern life. A pleasant, if unrealistic, way to examine your lifestyle.

Summary: A Wonderful Book to rediscover your humaness!
Review: This is a great book and a must read! It shows that if you slow down and take your time and really use your senses, your life would be much richer. Why is this unrealistic (as one reviewer mentioned)? Maybe most americans aren't up with the idea of living fully (and i don't mean with money or material things). we could learn a few things from the Europeans. They know how to enjoy life. I'd also reconmend A Natural History of the Senses by Diane Ackerman. Our senses are what make us humans.

Review: This is a wonderful coffee table book that one can pick up and read for inspiration and enjoyment. Reminding us to bring the senses into the home like hot baked bread, wonderful chocolate, fabulous linnens and indulgant pieces of furniture, this book is all about living intentionally, and living well through our senses. I would highly recommend this book for anyone looking to add some joy to their life through elements of their home.
