Book excerpt: A book full of tick-box-style checklists and valuable tips to guide keen renovators on how to ensure a cost-effective and streamlined renovation project. Through trial and error, Werine has cosmetically renovated over 20 homes. In the early days she made many mistakes which cost time and money. As a result, she developed detailed checklists to streamline her renovation projects and keep them profitable. Her journey has inspired her to share what she has learned. The checklists or "renovation recipes" as she calls them, were designed to help others avoid all the rookie mistakes. She wants keen renovators to learn about the best order in which to renovate to make their renovation process easier and more cost-effective. She believes her checklists take care of most of the planning so that she can focus on taking action. Her tick-box style of approach is practical, to the point and fast becoming the go-to method for cosmetic renovators. Whether you are renovating a whole house or just a room, the helpful checklists will keep your project on track. Werine purchased her first property in 2002, but the excitement of being a homeowner was overshadowed by her fear of being tied to mortgage repayments for 30 years. She wanted to turn three dreams into reality including 1) being mortgage-free as soon as possible, 2) make extra money to achieve this and 3) a healthy work/life balance. She embarked on a renovation journey that ultimately rewarded her with her dream lifestyle.Table of Contents1. Research 2. Budget, strategy & buy 3. Plan 4. Quotes & shopping 5. Demolition 6.

Book excerpt: Journalist Amy Haimerl and her husband had been priced out of their Brooklyn neighborhood. Seeing this as a great opportunity to start over again, they decide to cash in their savings and buy an abandoned house for 35,000 in Detroit, the largest city in the United States to declare bankruptcy. As she and her husband restore the 1914 Georgian Revival, a stately brick house with no plumbing, no heat, and no electricity, Amy finds a community of Detroiters who, like herself, aren't afraid of a little hard work or things that are a little rough around the edges. Filled with amusing and touching anecdotes about navigating a real-estate market that is rife with scams, finding a contractor who is a lover of C.S. Lewis and willing to quote him liberally, and neighbors who either get teary-eyed at the sight of newcomers or urge Amy and her husband to get out while they can, Amy writes evocatively about the charms and challenges of finding her footing in a city whose future is in question. Detroit Hustle is a memoir that is both a meditation on what it takes to make a house a home, and a love letter to a much-derided city.

Book excerpt: Make small changes to your surroundings and create extraordinary happiness in your life with groundbreaking research from designer and TED star Ingrid Fetell Lee. Next Big Idea Club selection—chosen by Malcolm Gladwell, Susan Cain, Dan Pink, and Adam Grant as one of the "two most groundbreaking new nonfiction reads of the season!" "This book has the power to change everything! Writing with depth, wit, and insight, Ingrid Fetell Lee shares all you need to know in order to create external environments that give rise to inner joy." —Susan Cain, author of Quiet and founder of Quiet Revolution Have you ever wondered why we stop to watch the orange glow that arrives before sunset, or why we flock to see cherry blossoms bloom in spring? Is there a reason that people—regardless of gender, age, culture, or ethnicity—are mesmerized by baby animals, and can't help but smile when they see a burst of confetti or a cluster of colorful balloons? We are often made to feel that the physical world has little or no impact on our inner joy. Increasingly, experts urge us to find balance and calm by looking inward—through mindfulness or meditation—and muting the outside world. But what if the natural vibrancy of our surroundings is actually our most renewable and easily accessible source of joy? In Joyful, designer Ingrid Fetell Lee explores how the seemingly mundane spaces and objects we interact with every day have surprising and powerful effects on our mood. Drawing on insights from neuroscience and psychology, she explains why one setting makes us feel anxious or competitive, while another fosters acceptance and delight—and, most importantly, she reveals how we can harness the power of our surroundings to live fuller, healthier, and truly joyful lives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combat chronic inflammation, ease over-stressed digestive and immune systems, and make better food choices with this easy-to-follow nutrition plan and cookbook Inflammation in the body shows up in the form of aches, pains, digestive distress, skin rashes, and swelling, and can lead to arthritis, type 2 diabetes, food allergies, skin conditions, and weight gain. Inflammation can result from undiagnosed food allergies or an autoimmune condition, or a diet that contains lots of processed foods, sugar, and meat. Adopting an anti-inflammatory diet can help. Health and wellness luminaries such as Dr. Oz, Michael Pollan, and Mark Bittman have all touted the benefits of an anti-inflammatory diet, and people are becoming increasingly aware of its benefits. Seattle nutritionist Michelle Babb lays out a sustainable diet plan that’s a snap to maintain—it's essentially a Mediterranean, or pescatarian, diet that increases the intake of plant-based foods. With Anti-Inflammatory Eating Made Easy, you’ll eat as much as you want, lose weight, and heal your body. And the great thing is that with this diet, you never go hungry! As long as half your plate is vegetables and fruit, and the other half is starch and fish, you may start to see health improvements in weeks once you adopt the diet. Dramatic lifestyle changes can be difficult, but this easy-to-follow plan makes anti-inflammatory eating approachable, understandable, and delicious.

This book was released on 2018-10-25 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why Renovation? Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? ~ 1Corinthians 3:16-17 Renovation is the process of working with Christ to repair the emotional damage our souls have suffered, and to remove the trash of worldly thinking that has accumulated over the years so that we may live victorious lives in Christ. What this book will teach you to do: Remove the causes of ongoing emotional pain that manifest in feelings of worthlessness, rejection, bitterness, trust issues, addictions, self-hatred, anger, fear, hopelessness and depression. Remove beliefs, values, attitudes, vows, and agreements with things opposed to God and His characteristics of love, mercy and holiness that result in sin. These things, having been set in motion at some point in our lives, continue to bear fruit today, even though we belong to Christ. Like Paul, we find ourselves doing the very things we hate. So the workmen labored, and the repair work progressed in their hands, and they restored the house of God according to its specifications and strengthened it. ~ 2Chronicles 24:13

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a foreword by Miles Redd, this luxurious decorating resource trains the eye to recognize enduring, quality home goods and to use them to dazzling design effect. Quality matters. Just as a home’s foundation should be built to stand the test of time, so, too, should the furniture, objects, and elements of our rooms speak to an enduring sense of beauty and comfort. They should outlast trends and our loving day-to-day use. But how does one recognize quality and judge whether something is well made? Christiane Lemieux set out to answer this question by interviewing the world’s greatest experts. Weaving together the insights and guidance of dozens of wallpaper and paint specialists, textile fabricators, accessories artisans, and interior designers, Lemieux has curated an unparalleled education in recognizing the hallmarks of timeless, heirloom-quality pieces. Hundreds of elegant home interiors—both iconic examples from the past and stunning residences today--represent the range of luxurious and customized environments that can be created with fine décor.
