"Home isn’t just a place to sleep and eat. It’s a haven—a place of refuge from the world, of connection with the people (and pets) you hold most dear, of celebration of life’s biggest moments and of recuperation from the exhaustion of the day. Kortney and Dave Wilson have built their careers and a beloved HGTV show, Masters of Flip, around creating houses that people instantly recognize as home. They build colour, joy and family into the design of every house they flip in Nashville, Tennessee, because those priorities are what shape their lives. Live Happy reads a bit like a daily devotional or The Book of Awesome, offering hundreds of fresh, fun ideas for how readers and fans of Masters of Flip can inexpensively and creatively build joy into their lives and their homes. From the reason you should always live close to the ice cream shop to the definitive philosophy for dealing with your junk drawer, it will help you make a new house into a home or inject new life into your forever home. It will go beyond design to personal connections, with stories of how Kortney and Dave found each other, built new dreams together and manage to have a happy marriage (and business!) while raising three amazing children. Full-colour and heavily illustrated, the book will feature over 200 photos drawn from Kortney and Dave’s family and design/renovation projects. Rather than overarching parts or larger chapter headings, each of Kortney and Dave’s ways to make your house a home will stand alone, whether it’s “Decaffeinate Your Coffee Table” or “Have a Place to Hide.” Think of it as The Wisdom of Sundays meets Domino with a shot of The Magnolia Story. Short pieces of text will run alongside photos—or with shorter rules that stand alone, possibly over the photos in a highly designed way. Through it all, Kortney and Dave’s voices will be in conversation in the way fans have come to know and love on Masters of Flip."--From publisher.
