Artist, designer, and lifestyle entrepreneur, April Cornell, opens her home and her life, to reveal how she captures the beauty of nature and expresses it throughout her personal and private living space.
Features April's own introspections and illustrations, homey sketches that perfectly punctuate each page.

In this refreshingly eclectic and intimate assemblage of home design inspirations, April takes the reader on a walk through her world of colour, textures and style, using her charming Victorian-style family home in Vermont as the showcase for her personal approach to design and decorating. In doing so, she inspires readers to rethink their own relationship with the natural world and suggests ingenious ways to enhance any home using nature's perfect palettes.

Beautifully illustrated throughout, the book is a cornucopia of refreshingly simple, yet sumptuous home decorating ideas. It is also the inspiring story of an artist who has "looked" at her life and has been so dazzled by its inherent beauty that her focus is unwaveringly uncomplicated. Readers need not mimic April's style to appreciated the sagacity and sensuality of her design philosophy; her serene approach to home decorating is both infectious and achievable.
