Discover what happens when a House has its own lessons to teach in this moving and insightful memoir that ultimately shows us how to make our own homes (and lives) better.
It is also a story of a marriage, of family, and of the kind of roots that settle deep into your heart.
A personal, accessible, and literary exploration of the psychology of architecture, as well as a loving tribute to the connections we forge with the homes we care for and live in, this book is designed for anyone who\'s ever fallen head over heels for a house. "I think anyone who saves an old House has to be a caretaker at heart, a believer in underdogs, someone whose imagination is inspired by limitations, not endless options." In this mesmerizing memoir-in-essays, Erica Bauermeister renovates a trash-filled House in eccentric Port Townsend, Washington, and in the process takes readers on a journey to discover the ways our spaces subliminally affect us.
