Diary of Your Home: Ideas, Stories, Tips, Charts, Diagrams, and Prompts to Help You Record and Organize Everything About your Ho

Description

From your house's architectural history to traditional holiday recipes, your most reliable handyman's phone number to your living room's paint colour, Diary of Your Home offers the space and tools to record the essential information about your home, and the cherished memories lived within its walls. A creative yet practical guided home journal, this book covers topics as diverse as entertaining, furnishings, renovations, landscaping, home administration, and more. Three separate elements - an informational anecdote, a prompt for the reader, and an empty diary section - complete chapters on rooms and structure, everyday life, surfaces and objects, and more. Equal parts inspirational and utilitarian, Diary of Your Home is for any home journey - whether it's renting a brownstone in Brooklyn, owning a farmhouse in Iowa, or renovating a townhouse in Paris. Featuring beautiful photographs, functional drawings, and insightful texts penned by authors Joanna and Peter Ahlberg, this exquisitely crafted accessory goes beyond your typical home diary: it's a treasured keepsake for lovers of architecture, DIY, and decorating in and of itself.
