"Jill Butler brings character, clarity and creativity to the art of making a home. Both visionary and catalytic, she sparks and inspires her reader. In her hands, the making of a home is a spiritual practice."--(Julia Cameron, author of The Artist's Way)

"Jill's creative energy was expressed on many articles that graced our shelves at Sur La Table and later the tables of our customers. Now with Jill's new book we will all share the simple steps to recreating the spaces around us. Her clean, crisp approach to design and use of color comes through on every page. Let Jill inspire you to look at your personal spaces with a new eye. This book makes an easy transition from old to new. I felt like I could do some of these creative changes with the things I had available in my home already. You will love every page."--(Renee Behnke, President Emeritus and owner of Sur La Table kitchen stores)

"Though I've always believed in Jill's principle of "the artistic journey to expressing yourself through your home," her new book unclutters that journey with wonderful, inspiring signposts and goals that gives each of us permission, no matter our age or circumstance, to create a nest that is unique, reaffirming and truly deserving of who we are and what we might become! Could be she has convinced me I am finally ready to build that shack in the woods I've wanted all my life!"--(Mary Randolph Carter, author, For the Love of Old)
