Keeping House, Emma Blomfield

We all desire a space that feels authentically our own: somewhere we can curl up with a cup of tea or host a dinner party for our nearest and dearest. But many of us treat our living situations as temporary. Homemaking is something we will do ''one day''—perhaps when we are no longer renting, when we have a larger budget, or when the kids are a bit older.

But it doesn''t have to be that way. Keeping House shows how you can start making the most of what you''ve got right now—and that it doesn''t have to cost the earth. Interior decorator Emma Blomfield, author of Home, shares her tips on how to style and maintain every room in your house to achieve a state of meaningful living, and to decorate and connect with guests through beautiful events. This is your guide to creating the life that you want in the space that you have, no matter where that may be.
