Description

A warm and practical guide, this companion volume picks up where its predecessor left off, following a growing family as they transition from a cosy first home to a larger, more comfortable residence. Through the eyes of Edwin and Angelina, readers are invited to explore the challenges and joys of moving house, and to discover how thoughtful design can transform each room into a welcoming refuge.

The author blends gentle humor with seasoned advice, urging readers to trust their own taste rather than relying solely on expensive upholsterers. From arranging hallways and selecting modest yet elegant furnishings to making the most of hidden nooks and corners, the book offers clear, step‑by‑step ideas that suit both modest budgets and more abundant means. Its tone is conversational and encouraging, making it an ideal companion for anyone hoping to infuse their home with character, comfort, and a touch of personal pride.
