The New York Times: Right at Home: How to Buy, Decorate, Organize and Maintain Your Space

This is the perfect book for someone moving into their first home. It has everything you need to do/to know in order to make a place homey without breaking the bank. Well-written and to-the-point, filled with great anecdotes from real people, which is a great touch. Also enjoyed the illustrations.

"Right at Home" has as a little bit of everything: home-buying hints, decorating tips, organizing ideas and a home maintenance checklist. As someone who (like many of us) is in the process of carving out a home office, I appreciate the suggestions for how to organize my space effectively and reduce clutter. And I'll be keeping an eye out for those pet-resistant fabrics!

It was so helpful to have information on managing and beautifying a house all in one place! Well written and organized. I recommend for new and old homeowners.

Excellent book! Love every page of it! So resourceful and easy to follow! Got a lot of tips on interior and exterior decorations!Perfect gift for a new Buyer or anyone moving to a new space! A true gem right at Home!

This book may be adequate for first-time home renters and buyers, but is way too elementary for anyone looking for more in-depth and original advice.
