Como Viver com Objetos

This book completely changed how I think about styling our home; it's less about perfection and more about surrounding yourself with pieces that mean something. The photography alone is worth it, but the ideas on curating personal spaces at home really helped me embrace our mismatched vintage finds.

Every room in our house suddenly has a story now, and I’ve rearranged three shelves just to see the connections between things. The chapter on curating without buying new was the kick I needed to stop obsessing over catalogs. It’s the rare design book that feels like a conversation, not a lecture.

Reading this felt like a quiet permission slip to stop chasing a perfect showroom look and just live with what I love. The way it frames authenticity over aesthetic polish really landed for me, and I’ve already rearranged my shelves to feature the odd pieces that tell my story.
