Purchase options and add-ons

New York Times bestselling author and popular lifestyle blogger Erin Gates shares everything you need to know about designing a beautifully stylish—yet practical and functional—family home through candid advice, inspirational ideas, and lessons learned.

Loved by her readers for her chic interior designs and frank and funny revelations about life behind the scenes of her picture-perfect blog, bestselling author and designer Erin Gates presents a new book about how to live stylishly amidst the chaos of daily family life. Throughout her career designing homes for families of all kinds all over the country, Erin has always maintained that living with children and pets does not mean that you have to forego nice things. This uniquely personal and practical guide will explain how to create a home that makes you proud and reflects your own style while also being durable, safe, and comfortable for children. It focuses on the spaces families share, those that are dedicated to the kids, and the oft-forgotten retreats for parents.

Erin combines honest design advice and gorgeous inspirational photographs with engaging and intimate personal essays about life lessons learned the hard way while struggling with infertility and becoming a mother, managing a business, overseeing her own home renovation, and finding time for her marriage. She’ll share how to store toys so that shared spaces don’t look like a kindergarten, the expensive-looking fabrics that will stand up to a marauding toddler with sticky hands, nursery looks that go beyond blue and pink, and furniture that does not have to be stored during the baby-proofing years. She also showcases the work of other designers she loves who surround parents, children, and their pets with comfort and beauty. Like a best friend who has a knack for style and a taste for fun, Erin opens her front door and invites you into her life and all of its beautiful imperfection.

Gorgeous book

In all honesty, I bought this book because of how pretty the spine is. I have not read it yet but it looks like it’s full of helpful info and inspiration. And as a decorative accent, it’s 10/10 :)

Beautiful, Inspiring Home Decor Book Full of Inspirations!

Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2020

Verified Purchase

I read other purchasers’ reviews before buying books and products and was a bit put off by the complaints that there was more focus on her child, little Henry, than decorating. I disagree. While I am at a different stage in life with grown children; in the process of selling our home of 20 years, packing, sorting and preparing to purchase or build a new home, I love this book! While the sections on nurseries and children’s living areas are not pertinent to me at my phase of life, there are plenty of sections, beautiful photos and decorating advice that is. And I certainly remember baby love and showing my children in the clothes I made them and the various places they went! I love her style of decor. While some is streamlined and modern, it maintains a cozy ambience and the photos are of rooms I myself would love to create.

My only complaint is that a section of my book has pages that were wrinkled in the production process. I try up he careful with my books and magazines and this is a regrettable flaw but does not deter from the overall.

I initially got this book for aesthetics. I loved the blue and white spine… but I ended up reading this book and loving it. As a new mom, this really spoke to me about how you can attempt for style and still have space to parent kids. I loved it so much that I went through the book a second time with my mother in law!

Whoever designs the cover/spine of Erin Gates' books is a GENIUS. Even if I didn't like the book, it would still look so, so pretty on a stack of design/coffee table books and would thrill me for that alone. Fortunately, I like Erin Gates' design style, a mix of new traditional and clean modern, and the book was so chock full of nice photos of stylish rooms from Gates and other designers that I was very happy to peruse the book and will likely return to it for inspiration again and again. I will say that there is a sameness to Gates' work--the woman loves a solid curtain with wide, usually Greek key trim--and most of these rooms are in very nice homes with great bones so there is not a lot of "budget decorating" or "architectural problem solving" ideas herein. My least favorite thing about the book was Gates' autobiographical/memoir-style writing. Frankly, I really didn't want to know about her fertility issues or parenting dilemmas; I'm just here for design advice and inspiration and I do like the tips she offers through the book. So, while I enjoyed reading through the book and will return to it, I just ADORE the cover and spine. Give a prize to whoever is responsible for that!

Beautiful Book and Great Inspiration

Reviewed in Canada on August 10, 2023

Verified Purchase

I love when someone publishes a design book that is not only useful/informative but a pleasure to look at and read. This book (as well as Erin Gate's previous book) tick off both boxes; Erin has a very approachable style and her aesthetic is elegant yet attainable. The physical quality of this book is outstanding - beautifully bound, quality printing and artwork and the striking spine pattern is genius. I'll admit, I was first drawn to the design of the cover/spine of her first book (Elements of Style) because it is so striking to display on a shelf or coffee table and when I saw this next volume my first reaction was "wow". It also helps that it works perfectly with my blue & white ceramic collection :). Very happy with this addition to my design library!

Lovely coffee table book

Reviewed in India on October 9, 2023

Verified Purchase

This book is very nice as a coffee table book, I have a lot of blue and white decor so this just adds to the aesthetics, It lost one star because it doesn't look brand new and there was a very small dent, must have happened at the time of transport, never the less it's a very pretty and affordable book to have if u are a collector.
