"The details can make a room. The bullnose edge of a marble countertop. The wood grain and color of the flooring. The particular pleat of the drape. Amber Lewis, the esteemed designer known for her signature California-inspired style, obsesses over the tiniest of features to create her eclectic, laid-back look. In Call It Home, she shares her secrets to choosing and applying fabric, paint, finishes, tile, flooring, and more for a beautifully designed home, shortcutting the often-overwhelming decision-making process. Amber walks you through eight new homes she designed -- including her own -- and the thought processes behind every major choice. Whether you're decorating one room, renovating your entire house, or planning new construction, she shares how to approach a project from start to finish, guiding you on how to find the right team so you can get the perfect results. Then she takes you through mountain retreats and surfside homes, dreamy escapes she’s created by pulling inspiration from the surrounding property for a look that’s unique to each home. Through personal essays, you’ll learn how she set about the project, what challenges her team faced, and the materials she used to achieve the finished result. With more than 200 gorgeous images of livings rooms, kitchens, dining rooms, entryways, bedrooms, and baths, you'll have photographs of Amber's details on hand when you're ready to create your own collection of stunning spaces -- and call it home."

"Fans of the less-is-more aesthetic and timeless interior design concepts will enjoy reading interior designer Lewis's (Made for Living) gorgeous book. Part career reflection and part showcase, this book spotlights the many upscale homes Lewis has styled. Readers are privy to her thought process and are taken behind the scenes to see the homes that she and her team have crafted for their wealthy clients. The book features more than 200 of Degges's stunning photographs, which showcase Lewis's keen eye for styling with neutrals as the centerpiece. She stays true to her philosophy that rooms don't need to be layered with too many items. With insight into Lewis's mindset and collaborative process, this book is less about design advice and more about the business of designing to meet one's needs."--Library Journal.
