Barbara Clarke had moved over forty times, renting often and even buying and remodeling a house or two before moving on. Each experience added to her reputation as someone who never stayed anywhere for very long. She eventually settled in a small town in the Pacific Northwest, where she collaborated with an architect and a contractor to build a house. Getting to Home: Sojourn in a Perfect House is a memoir that began as a saga of construction and became the basis for self-discovery. This is the story of how a woman built a house and arrived at a new meaning of home.

More than 7 million readers of Marni Jameson’s weekly home design column have already discovered how Jameson entertains and inspires, while imparting well-researched and personally validated DIY advice. Now, in her first-ever book on home improvement, she offers a compulsively readable, zanily humorous, yet also completely practical guide to a headache-free home makeover for everyone decorating a new house or updating an old one.Jameson has designed, built, and decorated three homes from the ground up. In The House Always Wins, she brings us along as she decorates, furnishes, and landscapes her current home. Though rooted in her own experience, this is no navel-gazing memoir. Rather, Jameson is like a favorite sister who has learned it all the hard way and is now here to prompt and inspire you to figure out your own personal style, make a design plan, and create your (almost) perfect dream home-one step at a time. With Jameson as our guide, we navigate through the seemingly endless maze of choices and decisions every home improver faces: wall color, flooring, cabinetry, window treatments, furniture, bargain hunting, home accessories, rugs, kids’ spaces, special purpose rooms (like the garage and guest, laundry, and mud rooms), landscaping, outdoor living spaces-and that’s just to start. Along the way, Jameson injects insights into the relationships and realities that dog every home improvement project. She also pauses to share hard-won secrets and money-saving tips distilled from her own redecorating experience and from interviews with dozens of renowned home-design experts.For anyone dealing with budgets, time constraints, unreliable contractors, a cheap spouse, kids, and pets-and who would appreciate having someone to commiserate with about the unattainable perfection featured in glossy magazine spreads-The House Always Wins will comfort (it can always be worse), inspire (who knew?!), and be absolutely indispensable.

With this book you are peeking in my consultation room and witnessing part of the process of restoring health in an effective and natural manner. People seek a homeopath because friends or partners tell them how much better they feel. That's great, but I often hear: "I tell everybody about homeopathy but I can't explain what it is that you do." So here it is, "Homeopathy Sweet Homeopathy" answers these questions about what it is, what it can do, and how it should be practiced. You may find yourself saying "Oh, that sounds like me!" or "I think so and so has this." That is good because this is about how one is affected by disorder and how it can be reversed with homeopathy. There are 33 conditions from Lupus to Crohn's to Migraines. Each case covers the physical, emotional, mental totality and the experience of one's disorder. A commentary column explains the logic of homeopathy so that the reader can get a deep understanding of what is for most people an enigmatic health profession.

An architecture and design critic’s search for an ideal American home—that’s both beautiful and affordable Most would be hard pressed to find an American not interested in real estate. From birth, we’re conditioned to consider owning our own homes as the fulfillment of the American Dream. But consumers today are more likely than not to find themselves either priced out of the market or forced to settle for cookie-cutter conformity. Where housing is concerned, cheap and well crafted rarely exist together. Or do they? Founding Editor in Chief of Dwell magazine and noted critic Karrie Jacobs believes that they do. The Perfect $100, 000 House chronicles her coast-to-coast search for just that: a well-built, intelligently designed, reasonably priced, decent-size house with at least a little curb appeal. Throughout her journey, Jacobs meets architects and builders who are revolutionizing the way Americans think about homes, about construction techniques, and about community. From a Teletubbiesesque subdivision outside Taos, New Mexico, to nuevo-retro shotgun houses in Houston, the options available to prospective home buyers are as diverse as the terrain along Jacobs’s fourteen-thousand-mile trek. And no matter where her search ends, she’ll at long last be home.
