Summary:

"A stylish guide to artful objects, both new and vintage, and how to use them to design a remarkable home, from the founders of the trendsetting magazine Sight Unseen. With a collection of anecdotes, tours of remarkable homes, and modern and meaningful design advice, Monica Khemsurov and Jill Singer take you on a fun, educational, and highly visual journey through two questions at the core of their design philosophy: what are objects, and how do we live with them? Why should we collect them, and how can they impact our lives? Like a chat with your most stylish friend, How to Live with Objects guides collectors, art lovers, and design enthusiasts towards a more sophisticated and skilled mindset in acquiring vintage, rare, and new objects and shows you how to style them in your own home. Appealing to every type of space, this book emphasizes the importance of objects, regardless of your style preference, and illustrates exactly how to find and utilize décor to maximize the thoughtfulness of your space. From a deep dive into thrifting, showing readers how to find that find so it doesn't end up being the one that got away, to style tips and tricks, How to Live with Objects is an indispensable tool for home owners and art enthusiasts alike"-- Provided by publisher.
