For Rosenfeld, stripes are a solid, kitchens with mismatched cabinetry are pulled together, and the most important rooms are often overlooked. In her debut book, the self-taught decorator shares the lessons and design philosophies that shape her work. Inspired by architecture, nostalgia, and the way people actually live, she prioritizes personality over perfection and warmth over trends. Whether transforming a historic Tudor or turning a pantry, potting shed, or kennel into an elevated, memorable space, she believes every room deserves thoughtful attention. Through thirteen projects, she offers practical advice on how to layer patterns and prints with confidence, acquire meaningful collections, and create rooms that evolve alongside the families who live in them. With refreshing candor, she shares her knowledge and answers the most frequently asked questions, including Where do I start? and How do I know when a room is finished? From a sprawling home in Memphis to a true beach cottage in Maine, from a landmark Addison Mizner property in Palm Beach to a family lake house in Wisconsin, the featured homes are welcoming and full of character. Infused with wit, Housewarming is about more than decorating—it’s about trusting your instincts to create a home that tells a story.
