Title: Someone loves themselves a bit too much.
Product review: I'll preface this with an admission - I am not a designer. I am an engineer by degree, having never actually practiced as one. I find the arts brilliant, each artist exposing themselves in the art they create.In regards to this book, there were quite a few sections that were brilliant. The paragraphs on defining a home were fantastic - I even wrote up that segment and sent to quite a few of my friends.Where this book fails, for me, is the extreme self-indulgence of the author. I'm a fan of elitism - we should be as elite as we can possibly be. That word is nice. But there is elitism, and then there is the self-love that this book is all about. The whimsical writing contrasts heavily with her judgementalness and her own severe issues.For every 2 times I quoted the book in a positive nature, I found myself quoting double the amount of passages in a "jeez, someone is full of herself" manner. That sums it up best for me.
