"Pieces of Home"
by Lisa Mercado-Fernandez
Bucks County Author
Pieces of Home is Lisa's latest book about her home. It is a journey through her house and always evolving style in home decor. It's not another design book telling you what to do and not to do. Nor is it a book showing rooms and gardens that are way beyond what you could ever attempt to replicate. It is just her journey trying to find her style. She introduces you to her decor influences and points out how each one has touched her life and her home. It is a fun and inviting book that hopefully will help to inspire, entertain and motivate you to believe in your own sense of style or point you in the direction of finding your own.
 "Subtract : The Untapped Science of Less" by Leidy Klotz
Blending evidence across science and design, Subtract: The Untapped Science of Less offers a revolution in problem-solving: proving why we overlook subtraction, and how we can access its true potential
We pile on "to-dos" but don't consider "stop-doings." We create incentives for good behavior, but don't get rid of obstacles to it. We collect new-and-improved ideas, but don't prune the outdated ones. Every day, across challenges big and small, we neglect a basic way to make things better: we don't subtract. Read more...
