The Spirit of African Design: a Book Review

By Sharne Algotsson and Denys Davis




I love looking at pictures of beautiful homes and visiting model homes. I try to figure out what makes it home to the inhabitant. After all, a house is not a home until you walk in the door, exhale and say, “Aha! I’m home.”

The Spirit of African Design inspired me to surround myself with the things I love. In my case that happens to be quilts. I expanded that theory to include my office. After all, we spend most of our time at work.

Need some inspiration for getting in touch with your deepest roots? Check out the Spirit of African Design.
