She consults with families all over the world to make interior design accessible, friendly, and multidimensional, encouraging clients to bring their whole selves into creating a home. Paige was one of two designers on HGTV's top-rated \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eHidden Potential\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e for five seasons. When she is not working on a television project, she is helping others make real changes in their homes with a dynamic, creative, and spiritual approach to home improvement, or diving into the next project in her own home outside Washington, DC.From the introduction:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"I know what you're going to say. Your  house is unlovable. Maybe unredeemable. You bought it because of the  schools or the yard or the price, but you come home after a long day and  think: yuck. You wish it were different. You need it to be  different--to look better, to work better, and to make you feel better.  I've been there, many times.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"If you want to get you to house  love, here's the secret: house love doesn't come from interior designers  or wildly popular design bloggers or rampant craftiness or an endless  flow of new things, it comes from within you. It won't spring forth from  a great couch or the perfect paint color--it comes from the feeling you  create in the space which feels just right, to you. It comes, not when  your rooms necessarily match each other, but when your rooms match you  and what you are all about. Put what you love and what's important to  you into your house and it will be lovable. (And it will love you back.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Guided  by the ideas here, you'll discover how to transform your home into a  space that reflects all that you love and all that you are--with your  own funds, time, and possibly, your hands. You will love your house by  getting to know yourself, coming to know and accept your house (and it's  limitations), and most importantly, learning when you can trust  yourself. We're taught to think others have better taste or abilities  than we do. For something as intimate as your home, which serves you and  your family 99 percent of the time, you are the best person for the  job, by far. What you need in the greatest supply to make your house  great is not money, time, or advice, but confidence. Even if you do hire  an architect, designer, or decorator to help you (and I don't advocate  one way or another) the work here will help you get the most out of that  relationship.\"Go beyond style, tell your own story, and make a home that works for you","brand":"Roost Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46300644180197,"sku":"NP9781611801989","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781611801989.jpg?v=1767731908","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/love-the-house-youre-in-isbn-9781611801989","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
