INSPIRATIONAL!!!

When I first came across Monica's work a year ago, I was instantly touched and drawn in by her unique message. She inspired me to look inside my home (the one where I grew up) and, for the first time, see things as more than just objects filling a room. Unbeknownst to me, I've been surrounded by these amazing heirlooms my whole life. Monica helped me discover a new-found appreciation for my parents' past (including all the things they've accumulated over time) and how much it has affected and shaped me. In my own apartment, I find myself looking for ways to hang up special photos that tell the story of my roots. I'm so glad Monica took the time to write down her thoughts and advice about how to embrace our family heritage and passions so I can continue to find ways to tell my one-of-a-kind story. I picked up my very own copy of her new book today, and I have to tell you, it's even better than I thought it would be. I love it! You will not regret buying this book.

Stunning!

I just moved apartments and was looking for innovative ways to personalize my living space -- and this book gave me all the inspiration I needed. Also, I had a hard time putting it down because the photography is so beautiful. It's a must have! I can't wait to start decorating!

Living With What You Love

Loved the book. Lovely pictures and great ideas! Who would think to put pictures in front of your books in your library.... Monica has done it again! Lisa

Amazing!

I was in the store today and started flipping through it...absolutely beautiful! The photography and decorating tips are great and the book itself is just gorgeous. I cannot wait to give them as gifts for Mothers Day! Highly recommended (:

The family pictures will finally see the light of day!

I saw the book today in the bookstore and will place my order right now! This book is inspiring me to take all of my family pictures that have been sitting in boxes for years and frame the special photos that I love. Some will be grouped on tables....and now that I have learned something about framing, the others will be framed and hung in my hallway. Thank you for not only the inspiration but the great tips for decorating with my special photos and other heirlooms. I can't wait to see what other ideas I will find in the book!
