“It’s like your first pack of Starbursts—exploding with color, homes and sunshine in equal measure.” —Apartment Therapy

I read this book almost exclusively because there was a Storygraph error where it was reading at 1396 pages instead of its actual page count, which is 696, and I was like, yes, I would like to cheat at my page count so that I can achieve my goals faster. Regrettably this issue was fixed by the time I started reading it. Which goes to show you that cheating at your goals is always wrong and will never actually give you the results you want or need. Karma, or whatever. Anyhow this book is clearly for people richer than me who also own their own homes. I really enjoyed most of the photos, however. Three stars.
