Sacred Spaces is a beautiful book a book that will take you on a journey using stunning photography and personal memoir through homes that are a sanctuary to their owners. The pictures are a feast for the eyes and the stories will pull at your heart strings with tales of the trials and tribulations are life and the importance of having a home sanctuary to retreat to. Homes from around the world are featured with varied designs and interiors. This would make a lovely gift book.

I was so excited to read Sacred Spaces by Carley Summers. I moved into my new home a few years ago, but it's still not finished (I had several things go wrong when I first moved in that prevented me from decorating). When it was time to decorate, I was demoralized to do anything. My hope for Sacred Spaces would be to inspire and motivate me.

The pictures are beautiful, and the stories are heartwarming, with contributors sharing their trials, tribulations, and triumphs. Eddie's decor, the white with black marble, was pristine and crisp. The blue bathroom sink in Page's home was beautiful. The stories and contributors are from the United States to France, Guatemala (the outside space was so pretty), to Canada and Morocco. The stories included are about dealing with trauma or hitting rock bottom and persevering and being able to find hope and healing.

What was especially helpful in thinking of my own space was the question the author posed to her interviewees, "How are your trials and victories represented in your home?" The questions helped me take stock and decide what type of home I would like to create for myself and what I want it to say to others.
