Musings of a Book Addict
I'm married to a scavenger of sorts and he often totes home rescued boxes of books that I paw through with shiny, hungry eyes. I pull out the odd and interesting and add them to my teetering stack.

The Perfectly Imperfect Home: How to Decorate and Live Well
I was hopeful when the introduction to this book focused on living a joyful life and having a "spirit-filled home" that embraces your individual personality, but when I dove into it, it was just more of the same old, boring advice. There wasn't anything remotely connected to bringing a sense of individual spirit into your house, and as one other reviewer said, the author assumes we all live in a giant mansion full of multiple rooms. There was no acknowledgement of how to deal with small spaces and the taste-level did not veer from the high design style that Domino magazine was so famous for. I did give it one extra star for the beautiful watercolor drawings, and for the brave choice to only have these illustrations, with no actual photos at all.
