Creator of whatTraditional Homemagazine calls some of "The Most Beautiful Rooms in America," interior designer Leah Richardson has come to realize that the state of a home reflects the state of the hearts that dwell there. Her interior design, which graces some of the most stunning homes along the Gulf Coast, centers around design principles she traces back to the Bible: By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established; Through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures. (Proverbs 24:3-4). Now, in Interior Wisdom, Leah shows readers how to use these principles to create their own beautiful rooms and beautiful hearts to enjoy them. Interior Wisdom will encourage readers to use Christian inspiration to make a home a peaceful, beautiful haven — a sanctuary from the outside world. Leah walks the reader through every stage of the design process, from deciding it's time for a change and prep work, through developing the plan, selecting the team, and on-sight-requirements. She offers specific information and describes how to utilize information on design principles, focal points, and completing the look, and then she delves into creating special spots around the house, understanding that hospitality is a blessing not a chore, and having the confidence and freedom to live in our house our way. In each chapter she shares the ways her spiritual walk influences her design, offers beloved verses that have inspired her work and includes a centering prayer to help the reader understand what is most important about each aspect of the design process.
Interior Wisdom strikes new ground in design by going back to the original creator for inspiration.
