Why read it?

1 author picked Everything as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Abigail is a genuinely unique voice in the interiors world. Fearless, provocative, opinionated, I love her. Her personal style of maximalist dark drama might not be for everyone but the principles behind her thinking—self-expression, optimism, experimentation—absolutely are.

In short, homes that you’ll never want to leave. 

From Michelle's list on homes for health, happiness, and healing.
