Home Life Around the World

I received a DIGITAL Advance Reader Copy of this book from #NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. From the publisher --- Home Life Around the World is about the relationship we have with that most private and intimate space – our home. Step into personal homes of architects, designers, photographers and other creatives. Food and art lovers. People passionate about the environment. All with their own stories and destinies. The homes are located in Shanghai, Hong Kong, Cape Town, Buenos Aires, Uruguay, Mexico City and New York. Richly illustrated with inspiring and honest photos of the home environment of these individuals, whose personality colour every image of the book. With personal and interesting texts based on interviews with the homeowners, who generously shared insightful thoughts and reflections about themselves and their homes, as well as their philosophy of life and their personal life stories.

As a fan of Hello Magazine, I like to look at, salivate over and laugh at over-the-top homes that fill its pages. I cannot believe how minimalist some of the homes are (I am more of along the line of the "collector's paradise" Manhattan home as I have so so so so many books (as do they). A very interesting, short (100 pages) read.
