Life Unstyled: How to embrace imperfection and create a home you love

There is not one photo in this book that’s completely in focus! Please see my sample photo from the book....where the only thing in focus is the bed quilt. What was she thinking! Wow! It looks like someone didn’t know what they were doing and blurred all of the backgrounds? A book about home decor and there’s stuff in the background that kinda looks interesting, but it might as well not even be there bc you can’t tell what exactly you’re looking at! Extremely disappointing! I bought it as a gift, but it’s going back to Amazon!

I absolutely love this book! I have been drawn towards a more unstyled look at home for some time- a mix of intentionality and real life rhythms. This book is both fun to read and incredibly useful. Highly recommend!

Love this book and the philosophy behind it. The book is very well-produced, with large, luscious photographs integrated nicely with text about the homeowners and their style and tips on how the reader can incorporate what's in the book in their own home. The overall aesthetic is colorful, improvisational, comfy, stylish, and a bit cluttery in a good way ("good clutter" says the author). The philosophy behind "Life Unstyled" is that a home should be a work in progress and perfection not the goal. This is both appealing visually and a relief mentally for the person who finds thinking about radically transforming their home intimidating and exhausting. This book is not for the person with a horror over clutter or a penchant for the highly polished and sleek. However, I disagree with the reviewers who objected to the amount of clutter in the homes featured -- the homes do "breath" and this is not your grandma's aesthetic. But the homes are stylishly homey and approachable, as is the author's voice and tips. Highly recommended.

Definitely worth it. Read in a day- aesthetician yogi peace love life

It took me a while to appreciate this book...at first it felt like clutter overload. But after reading the text and spending some time with the photos, I learned to appreciate this approach and think more about how pointless interior perfection is.

For lack of a better word each home is very eclectic in their own personal style, no two objects are found in any home and no home is in particular similar to another. I love the vibe that each dwelling gives off and all their little trinkets and keepsakes that they have everywhere. It reminds me of my own home. Very pleasing to witness the heart of these homeowners and their belongings.

Just the kind of reference book I need. My home is eclectic

MILDLY ENTERTAINING AND NOT VERY INSPIRATIONAL.

Despite of never writing a book review before I felt compelled to do so as this is the best home decor book I've ever handled.If you look at pictures in books and magazines longingly despite of knowing that minimalism can never be your thing and reigning in the chaos in the wake of children, pets, multiple hobbies and interests just demands time you haven't got -you need this book. Even if your home remains the untamed beast it always was, this book makes you feel so much better about it.I want more and I haven't got to the end yet! (I'm reading it during my tea breaks from the house detangling project inspired by this book, so far it is keeping me motivated, no enthused!) Looking forward to Life Unstyled Vol. 2.

I love, love, love this book. Gorgeous pictures on every page. It is all so me. My head is bursting with ideas for decorating my gorgeous home on a river...a narrow boat. It is all about picking out little areas of the big rooms in the book and merging them together in my small space. I highly recommend this stunning book. Definitely for someone who likes 'different'.

Would be 5 stars but it loses its way a bit at times and shows rather stylish, perfectly styled rooms! That said the pics are fab and there are lots of 'em.

Great ideas and thank you for excellent service
