House of Belief incorporate beliefs, values, goals, and dreams into a more meaningful style. This description may be from another edition of this product.
Our homes should be reflections of our beliefs and who we really are rather than collections of mass-marketed, trendy items. Having our beliefs around us incorporated in to our interiors: personal mottoes on walls, embroidered into pillows, or painted onto chairs; portraits of those who inspire us; handmade quilts, pottery, or oil paintings--these are all the things that affirm who we are and who we want to be. If we see our beliefs and dreams in front of us on a daily basis, it is easier to manifest them.This book demonstrates how we all have the tools to build our own houses of belief. It does not require special talent for interior design, just a strong desire to express our individuality and to make our homes havens that uplift our hearts and minds.

Your home is your cocoon, so grow into a butterfly
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Kelee Kadillac's work transcends decorating to embrace the art of living within your means, and through the expression of your inner beliefs. Faith Popcorn's prediction that Americans would cocoon in the 1990's seems to have matured into a desire for artistic expression that moves beyond creating home environments that look like a certain style. Kelee suggests that there are no right answers except the ones we decide to apply to our homes, and thus they can become the medium to express highly personal, fun, elegant, or funky tastes that comfort us and bring joy to our lives. I look for wonder and small surprises in everything I see, and after reading Kelee's book, I felt that my purple walls and lime green ceilings were just fine. That feeling of happiness cheers me all day, and, we all need lots of cheer in our lives. Try this book, not to see how to duplicate the look, but to see how expressing the look you dream in your own heart may just lead you to a refreshing metamorphosis in your definition of style.
Belief-based Design
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Kelee Katillac's "House of Belief" is an inspiring journey that challenges our preconceived notions of interior design. In lilting prose, and with gorgeous photographs to illustrate her views, Ms. Katillac tells us we should look within ourselves before we decorate our external environments. What we believe, value and dream about, she says, should be reflected in our homes; and not manufactured, assembly-line furnishings and decorations that say nothing about who we are. What an uplifting, affirming point of view in a world that robs us of the human and the personal in so many ways! I love this book, and think it will resonate with many people.
