Escapology : modern cabins, cottages and retreats / by McAllister, Colin,author.; Ryan, Justin,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Colin McAllister and Justin Ryan--Scottish interior designers, TV hosts, and property speculators--are cabin aficionados who divide their time between homes in Canada and their beloved Scotland. Escapology: Modern Cabins, Cottages and Retreats is a stunning book of modern-day retreats--bucolic weekend escapes by the sea, remote getaways in the woods, and rustic mountain hideouts--to inspire peaceful and quiet living. The authors genuinely believe that cabin time has a remarkably positive impact on our health, wellbeing and our happiness. Whether it's a rustic cottage nestled deep within a Nordic forest, a robust mountain lodge in Montana, a breathtaking treehouse in Canada, or a steel-walled, one-room "hotel" in Denmark, these retreats share one vital aspect in common: they proffer the chance to escape and to and live in harmony with nature, far from the madding crowd. Part style bible and lifestyle manual, the book features a beautiful collection of classic and contemporary cottages and cabins, each accompanied by an informative design profile and beautifully photographed images. And of course, the book is also packed with practical building and design advice that fans of Colin and Justin have grown to love. You'll find relevant information about different types of dwelling styles, builds, sustainability/off-grid living, tiny homes, renovation on a budget, room zonings, décor and everything in between."-- Provided by publisher.

Uncommon kitchens : a revolutionary approach to the most popular room in the house / by Donelson, Sophie,author.;
"The past few years have made us all want to rethink our living spaces, particularly our kitchens. Our inner voices are saying: you spend a lot of time in this room, shouldn't it feel more like you? Now it can. Sophie Donelson revolutionizes traditional kitchen design with a bevy of inventive ideas for makeovers large and small. The kitchen is put together unlike any other room in the house-- but that doesn't mean you have to be hemmed in by tradition. Sophie takes a rule-breaking approach, mixing and layering styles, colors, furnishings, and layouts to make even well-trod kitchens vividly fresh. Drawing on advice and up-to-the-minute projects from designers such as Joy Cho, Studio Shamshiri, Beata Heuman, and a host of others, each personality-filled chapter is packed with liberating designs that will change your thinking about the tried-and-true kitchen. Learn from DIYers, Instagrammers, and design icons such as Ilse Crawford, Johnny Grey, and Robert Kime. Be inspired by innovators such as Heidi Caillier, Jessica Helgerson, Reath Design, Ward & Pierce, and Studio Laloc. Let chefs and foodies, including Alison Roman-- whose tips for a tiny kitchen are life-changing-- and Alex Snodgrass @theDefinedDish, change your thinking about floorplans and furnishings. These imaginative new kitchens will make you a quick convert and the book's know-how will help you create your own kitchen revolution, too"--

All our summers / by Chamberlin, Holly,1962-author.;
It came as no surprise to anyone in Yorktide when glamorous Carol Ascher fled the little Maine town for New York City. While Carol found success as an interior designer, her younger sister, Bonnie, stayed behind, embracing marriage and motherhood. She even agreed to take in Carol's teenage daughter during a tumultuous patch. Now both their girls are grown and Bonnie, recently widowed, is anticipating the day she'll retire to Ferndean House, the nineteenth-century family home on the rocky Maine coast. But forty-five years after leaving Yorktide, Carol suddenly announces that she's moving back--into Ferndean. Bonnie is indignant. She's the one who kept the homestead in order and tended to their dying mother. Now Carol expects to simply buy her out? As far as Bonnie is concerned, Ferndean is part of their heritage--not just another of Carol's improvement projects, to be torn apart and remade according to her whim. The entire Ascher family is in flux, uncovering secrets that upend their relationships. Carol's longing to be welcomed home is fueled by a painful truth she's carried for years. It will take an extraordinary summer--in a remarkable place--to lead these women back to each other, buoyed by the tides of friendship and forgiveness.

The foraged home / by Maclennan, Oliver,author.; Maclennan, Joanna,photographer.;
A celebration of both sustainability and design, this book presents beautiful interiors filled with salvaged, recycled, and repurposed objects from around the world. Artful home interiors are born from curiosity, creativity, and imagination, yet many of us fail to see a potential curtain rod in a bamboo stick or a kitchen counter in an old carpenter's bench. Anyone can create a beautiful home without expensive store-bought pieces simply by foraging and salvaging. Discarded objects can be restored, recycled, or repurposed to fill any space with style. Presenting the techniques and philosophies--such as beachcombing, forest hunting, and urban salvaging--of savvy foragers from across the globe, this book showcases how they created comfortable and stylish homes by breathing new life into what most would consider waste. In an era when sustainability, living off the grid, and reducing our eco-footprint have never been more important or appealing, The Foraged Home will provide guidance and inspiration to those looking to go beyond the world of mass-produced products.

The seven o'clock club / by Ireland, Amelia,author.;
"Four strangers are brought together to participate in an experimental treatment designed to heal broken hearts in this surprising and heartfelt debut novel from author Amelia Ireland. In a perfectly ordinary building, four strangers who couldn't be more different meet for the first time. Their skepticism of this new kind of grief therapy-and the unnervingly perceptive group leader-means they're all wary, but as the weeks go by, they find themselves returning again and again, pulled to work toward healing, even if it means first facing the pain head-on. A sharp-tongued lawyer who has no intention of letting down her walls, a fragile young woman looking for a place to belong, a musician at the top of his game who's one drink away from losing it all, and an interior designer facing the crumbling of her picture-perfect life-this unlikely group slowly opens up, not only to the possibility of a happier future but to friendship, change, and even romance. When a startling revelation reveals the real reason they were chosen for this group, it shakes the very foundation of what they thought they knew. What began as a journey designed to heal turns out to be a much greater test of friendship, strength, and love as they realize happiness is just outside the door ... if they're brave enough to seek it"--

Right up until its final twist, this gripping novel is full of powerful insights about who we love, how much--and even how much we love ourselves.
