An elevated yet accessible follow-up to Lauren LiessΓÇÖs Habitat, showcasing her signature easy-living lifestyle Down to Earth picks up right where Lauren LiessΓÇÖs critically acclaimed Habitat left off. While Habitat walked readers through the decorating process step-by-step, LiessΓÇÖs latest title takes a step beyond the basics and invites readers to incorporate the main components of her familiar design aesthetic: nature, easy living, and approachability. With evocative photos and substantive design advice, Down to Earth focuses on creating a lifestyle that inspires creativity and functionality. Throughout the book, Liess shows readers how to incorporate six guiding principles in six unique homes: a new farmhouse, a classic American historical home, a lakeside contemporary house, a modern villa, a turn- of-the-century American Foursquare, and a cedar and glass house on a bluff. While each home has a different architectural style, fingerprints of LiessΓÇÖs down-to-earth style are evident throughout.
