“This book is chock full of wonderful tips to make your remodeling project a success!” – Howard, Email from readerThe book Remodeling Hell describes Charles Irion's journey as he endeavored to build his dream house. It includes a guide packed with money-saving tips about the home remodeling process. Remodeling Hell is often hilarious, but always valuable lessons of what to do and what NOT to do when building a new or remodeling an existing house.

I wrote this book because I want you to have a great experience building your new home or remodeling your existing home. It is possible. You don't have to listen to your friends who say, "Oh, remodeling is a nightmare," or "Building a house is a dreadful experience. I'll never do it." I don't want you to be in that category. I want you to be the person at the party who steps back from the circle of guests who are complaining about their architect and their contractor, and how much it cost, and the hardships they went through. I want you to step back from that and smile, knowing that you didn't go down that path.

From the author of the New York Times bestseller Styled, here is Emily Henderson's masterclass on interior design. “An approachable guide for anyone who is looking for tools and resources to create a home that speaks to who they are and what they love.”—Joanna Gaines Whether you’re embarking on a weekend refresh or complete renovation, interior designer Emily Henderson wants you to take risks with your home design without experiencing regret. In this visually driven decorating bible punctuated with photographs from real homes and colorful illustrations, she takes you through her entire process, including every single decision she makes when it comes to picking paint, arranging furniture, hanging window treatments, and deciding on lighting fixtures. You'll also learn when to hire a contractor versus an architect versus a handyperson, all the materials to consider (and why you might want to skip those marble countertops), proper measurements of the elements in each room, and so much more. By the end of the book, you'll feel more confident when it comes to visualizing the home of your dreams, and you'll finally know how to make it happen.
