Your abode can be interesting, beautiful, timeless, and best of all, memorable, by centering it around you!
Creating homes around client stories is the exact opposite of what Grace was told to do when breaking into the design world. "Pick a style, stick to it, and repeat it over and over", a respected mentor once told her. Instinctually, this felt wrong. Grace's desire for people to feel seen and heard, a desire likely stemming from being bullied as a child, was too strong to enact a rinse and repeat version of design. When her husband gifted her a notebook and photo album inscribed with "Show others your Storied Style" on the inside cover, her fate was sealed. Grace has now made it her mission to show people their story can and should complete their home.
Since the premiere of her first television show, Grace has received thousands of emails and messages from people wondering how their stories would translate to their home. This book is the answer to those queries. Taking the reader through seven important questions to ask themselves, Grace showcases her exact design process to put together a home reflective of the people living in it. Over twenty thoughtfully photographed projects, some favorites and some never-before-seen reveals (including Grace's own home & garden!), are featured throughout the book to showcase how answering the seven questions leads to a home that is uniquely yours.
In a busy world, taking a moment to slow down and reflect on your life can be difficult. Grace's simple process, along with heartfelt stories of people whose lives have been changed by following her steps, will motivate you to get started. Using your story to dictate the style of your home enables you to not only share yourself in a new way with visitors, it also helps break the expensive cycle of fashioning your home around trends. Your abode can be interesting, beautiful, timeless, and best of all, memorable, by centering it around you.
Creating homes around client stories is the exact opposite of what Grace Mitchell was told to do when breaking into the design world.

Grace has now made it her mission to show people that their story can and should complete their home.
