I love the beautiful photos in this book, and I even recognized some of the homes from the Fixer Upper show. I like the philosophy of decorating, with an emphasis on telling your story through what you allow in your home. Your home should be functional for your family, and feature things that are important to you.
I just adore Joanna Gaines' style, and this is a lovely book. I can't say that I actually got any doable ideas for my own home from this. Everything looks too expensive or massive or requires some kind of major remodeling. I was looking for smaller ideas, simple changes, and easy DIYs. Ah well. If I were a millionaire, I would totally have a home that looks like Joanna Gaines decorated it.
