“it’s complicated” Facebook status. The struggle of having enough to feel comfortable and welcoming, but not so much that you feel suffocated and overwhelmed, is real. Which is why I devoured Cozy Minimalist Home. An approachable way to create a chic and inviting house that isn’t stuffed to the gills so there’s more room for life?! I’m in!”
“In her humorous, down-to-earth style, Myquillyn shows us how to stop trying so hard and instead create a space where we can exhale and simply be ourselves. Isn’t that what home is all about?”
“how, and practical guidance. She’s taught me about decorating math, wall sabbaths, and personal style, and I adore the results I get to enjoy every day in my home. If you want to make your own home more warm, inviting, comforting, and welcoming, I highly recommend this book.”
“Here is what I love about Myquillyn and what I believe sets her most apart: she is primarily concerned with the way a space makes you feel. Her ultimate goal is to help people create spaces where people feel welcome, comfortable, cozy, relaxed, refreshed, and inspired. Contrary to a form-over-function culture, Myquillyn has developed a way to coach us into creating spaces where the people we love—and ourselves!—can feel our best. And lucky for us, she just happens to help us to make these spaces beautiful along the way.”
“Cozy Minimalist Home puts to rest once and for all the assumption that minimalism needs to be cold, rigid, or impersonal. Quite the contrary—it is a life filled with passion, purpose, and beauty. Thank you, Myquillyn, for showing that to be true in this beautiful book and work of art.”
“I was hardly aware of the low-grade sense of failure I had every time I walked into my sunroom. And then I learned the Cozy Minimalist way and everything changed. Step by step, I applied Myquillyn’s Cozy Minimalist method to my sunroom, and it went from being my least favorite room in the house to my most favorite within days. I’m so grateful for this beautiful, life-giving book.”
“hoarder conversation: in life and in decor, what does it mean to have enough? With an affirming approach, gentle guidance, and trusted tips, she’s the grace-based KonMari we’ve been waiting for. Here’s to more style and less stuff—within our own four walls and beyond.”
“Myquillyn Smith’s approach to living and decorating has inspired me for a decade. No home designer in America is better suited to speak to the everyday woman who craves beauty but doesn’t have the time and energy for perfection. Her words and style have impacted my perspectives about design and have helped me transform my house into a home.”
“This is more than just a book about decorating; it is a manifesto. Myquillyn’s down-to-earth, practical practical decorating advice and doable step-by-steps are what we house-lovers want. But it’s her big-sisterly encouragement to use our homes to serve and gather and shelter and nurture that truly makes this book a must-read for anyone wanting their home to be a lovelier place.”
“Myquillyn elevates minimalism without sacrificing style, sets the stage for hospitality minus the production, and empowers even the most intimidated home decorator to make simple styling decisions that count. Cozy Minimalist Home will give you the freedom and confidence you need to simplify your style and make your house your own.”
“a beautiful home. If you think minimalism results in a cold, empty house, Cozy Minimalist Home will show you how to fill your home with what matters most to you and your family. This lovely book is as warm, cozy, and simple as you’ll want your home to be.”
“When Myquillyn talks about home, I lean in and listen. She has a brilliance about her that makes it easy to forget that she’s talking about home decor. I want her wisdom in so many areas of my life, but I’m happy to start with the living room. Strip away what’s keeping you from serving people and then teach your rooms to do the same. This book is a gem and its author a rare gift to those who wish to make home a place of peace, love, and hospitality.”
