"Inspired by Frances Schultz's popular House Beautiful magazine series on the makeover of her house, Bee Cottage, what began as a decorating book evolved into a memoir combining the best elements of both: beautiful photos and a compelling personal story"-- Provided by publisher.
What begins as a decorating book evolves into a memoir combining the best elements of both: beautiful photos and a compelling personal story. Schultz taps into what she learned during her renovations of Bee Cottage-- determining how each area in the house and garden would be used and furnished-- to unravel the question of how a mature, intelligent, successful woman could have made such a mess of her personal life. As she figures out each room over a period of years, Schultz comes to learn that, like decorating a home, our lives must adapt to who we are and what we need at different points along the way.
