- Favorite quote
"Learn as much as you can and then acknowledge what you love without apology. You don’t need any excuse to love something and remember that you and your family are the ones interacting with this space every day. You don’t decorate for others; it is a personal investment."
This book was very well done, especially for an emerging author - and I've read a lot of interior design books. I loved the format; each chapter focused on what we can "make room" for in our homes from cleanliness and organization to love and family. My favorite chapter was "Make Room for Style", which goes through different styles and includes beautiful examples of each. The author used examples and photos of her own home design throughout, and the images were gorgeous - I just wish there were more of them! I also appreciated her infusion of personal stories into the chapters, as well as the introduction at the beginning. While this book may cater more towards those with young children (like the author), there are numerous ideas that would apply to any prospective designer. Also, you can't help but be inspired by words like these
"My greatest hope for you, my reader, is that you feel uplifted and inspired from reading this book about how to create soul and style in your home. I like to picture you closing the book, standing up and saying, “Yes! I can do this!†And you can!" - As a mom of 5 kids, working full-time, I typically stay far away from any design or style books. I usually feel them to be impractical, expensive and frankly, a waste of my time and energy. Enter Lucy Jo's book. She is the real deal. She is honest, has perspective and talks about the importance of ensuring that your home and your body are functioning at their best. She has kids. She is a mom. She is frugal. She has amazing ideas. She loves sharing her passion for creating useful and beautiful spaces. I couldn't help but be hooked after reading the first 5 pages of this book. What a game changer this book has been. Lucy Jo breaks down each room of the house, helps prioritize and is realistic about budges, time frames and LIFE happening!
- A light read with a heavy impact on the way you look at your home and life in general. After reading this book, I gained the courage to jump in feet first for our own home renovation this spring. I loved the simple, straightforward talk and the way Lucy encourages you to be your best self (without overwhelming you) from her book.
- Making Room tells readers how to look at the primary place (home) where we live and encourages to create our own colors. Many before and after pictures and color samples help visualize our creative possibilities. Not only home interior itself, Making Room gives useful advise for happy families.
- I absolutely loved Making Room. It's chock-full of helpful tips that even an amateur can apply to make their home more beautiful and functional. It's written in a warm and approachable way that made me want to keep reading, and I loved how the author shared bits and pieces of her life to tell the story and make her points more impactful. Highly recommend!

- I was impressed with how you could feel the authors passion in her writing. I loved how she shared her journey in finding her style and what brings her joy. I really appreciated that she included pictures of different decore styles so that you can get a better idea to what you like in decorating, instead of just trying to explain it and hoped that we understood. I like that she also provides different templates to help you with organizing your thoughts, styles, and supplies. Very well written.
- This book is real and I have felt motivated mentally which for me is the hardest step. I was laughing and crying in just the first chapter. I'm taking on the clutter in my mind and my home and more importantly I have a new mindset for those mundane tasks. Absolutely recommend!
