"What does home mean to you?  Home is a place where you feel safe, an environment in which you can be utterly yourself.  It is, most certainly, more than just a space to rest one's head.  Home is a manifestation of your life, whoever you are and whatever that means to you."  - Forward to Kelly Hoppen

Stephanie and I enjoy reading during breakfast.  If it's not scripture (which we find is a great way to start each day) then we've usually picked up a design book or something about organizing.  Stephanie has recently finished reading "The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up" which she definitely recommends if you're looking to de-clutter your life! And I've recently been into one of my favorite design books, "Kelly Hoppen - How to Achieve the Home of Your Dreams".  

Kelly Hoppen is a UK based interior designer with her own design firm.  She has developed over time her own "look" which she has been widely sought after for.  In her book, she goes through her design process and how to achieve "the home of your dreams" as well as achieving the "Kelly Hoppen look".  She has an impeccable eye for detail and it is manifested in every corner of each project she is involved with.  Take a look at what I mean below...

If you're looking to take your home to the next level, I suggest picking up a copy at your local interior design store or snagging one off of Amazon.com. With step-by-step guidance through each detail of home design, Kelly Hoppen provides all of her readers the opportunity to achieve the home of their dreams.  I hope you enjoy it!
