These comfortable, characterful rooms welcome their communities by hosting picturesque events in the summer, and cozy dinners in the winter. Including thoughtful tips and ideas—on reclaiming old spaces, upcycling used furniture, foraging and gardening sustainably, tabletop arranging, and more—from the homeowners, who brought their new spaces to life, Author - Short: De Vries, Barbara Pages (actual): 256 Illustrations (TI Sheet): 400 Color Illustrations
