My Happy Place: Healthy, sustainable and humane interior design for life and work is a beautifully illustrated reference and idea guide for using products and materials that are healthy and eco friendly. I loved the photographs of the carefully designed rooms, they are full of ideas. However it did feel as though the book was a big advertisement for the specific products, designers and manufacturers. Still. I enjoyed the pictures and the ideas they generated, and if anything the book will definitely get you thinking about everything you use and buy for your home.
