Each chapter in this gorgeous book begins with a tour of a specific part of Harris’ former Charleston home, which illustrates a certain ideal of being a house romantic, like meaning, comfort, authenticity, flair and nature.

You’ll also find a “Story Behind the Stuff” at the end of each chapter, which gives a behind-the-scenes look at an artist, artisans or purveyor whose creations Harris loves. The ultimate guide to connecting with your space and surrounding yourself with pieces that hold significance,
