    Apartment Therapy: The Book

    Book
    Attention: This book is
    not just for apartment dwellers!
    In Apartment Therapy, Maxwell Gillingham-Ryan, shows you how to create a home that works for you-physically, emotionally, and spiritually.  It really is all about whether or not your home is a healthy place for those that live there and how to make the necessary changes to your home to bring it back to health. And starting March 5th, Apartment Therapy: The blog, is getting ready to introduce The Spring Cure of 07. They are going to interactively be reading and working through the eight step home cure in earnest, so if your ready to cure your home’s sicknesss, hop on over to AT on Monday, March 5th for some good medicine!

    Until then, be sure and check out my favorite chapter in the book called, "Seeing Your Home In A New Light".  You will come to a clear understanding that your home is like your body with four limbs: bones, breath, heart and head.  The bones of the home refer to the physical structure of the home. It is very important that the vessel within which you live is kept clean, and in good condition or else they will store stagnant energy and transmit a dull feeling.

    Breath, in relation to the home, refers to the arrangement of your home. This takes into consideration the flow through each room and your use of space. Furniture, lighting, and storage all effect the flow of a given space.

    The heart of the matter refers to the emotional life of your home.  Color, shape, texture, and scent all give your home a conscious awareness of the emotional stability of your living space.

    Finally, the head, or the purpose of your home; this is primarily the reasoning behind each room and refers to the meaningful activities that go on in your home.  Consider this, what do you do in your home and where do you do it?

    If you are truly ready to give your home (the body) a makeover, Apartment Therapy: The Book has many chapters that will address your homes medicinal needs on every level. The book will keep you on track as you take care of repairs (bones), rearrange (breath), redecorate (heart), and focus your space to suit your purpose (head). Go pick up a copy today!
