"Designer Brian Paquette shows how a connection to nature is key in creating a meaningful and supportive home environment. An honest, introspective essay introduces Paquette's second book, which represents the most recent steps in his evolution as an interior designer. Some are ground-up homes that he worked on from the iteration, some are remodels of existing spaces in various scales, and some are furnishings of existing homes for clients. Concise chapter introductions are followed by gallery-like displays of images that the reader can become immersed in and interpret for themselves"--
