Carter Oosterhouse knows how real people live and how
intimidating home design can be. With his reassuring, “you
can do it” attitude, he goes out of his way to show readers
how to create realistic design elements that they can
implement with basic tools and a little DIY experience. His
mission is to bring people’s imaginations to life. The
design features he constructs use materials easily found,
are budget-conscious, and whenever possible environmentally
friendly. In Carter’s Way, he decodes the time-tested
principles of design, using specific examples and stunning
photos to visually illustrate his points. >Each chapter will cover a different area of the house,
acknowledging the diversity of layouts in today’s homes. For
example, one chapter will focus on spaces for cooking,
eating, and socializing to appeal both to people with a
formal dining area and those with more open floor plans,
with a design that is about comfort, entertaining,
and practicality. Other chapters include: intimate
bedroom spaces featuring beautiful and efficient storage for
a sensual environment that becomes a sanctuary;
living/family rooms with the kind of versatility that allows
them to convert from game-playing rumpus rooms to elegant
cocktail party spaces; luxurious bathrooms that provide a
spa-like getaway from stress while also conserving energy
and water; home offices/entryways/laundry rooms; and outdoor
spaces that can serve as two- or three-season rooms for
entertaining and relaxing.
