Summary
A stunning visual journey through the homes of people from around the world who have taken steps to simplify their lives and embrace the principles of slow living。
Still is an interiors book that invites readers to take on the philosophy of the SLOW movement。 Living Sustainably; Local; Organic; and Whole。 It talks not just to the question of the physical structures we choose， but also the surrounding environment， and what effect that can have on general happiness and wellbeing。 Still includes about a dozen case studies featuring escape homes and owners who live according to these aforementioned principles， enlightening readers as to why they chose this path and how it has benefitted their lives。 It is the follow-up to Natalie Walton's successful first title This is Home， and once again features location photography by Chris Warnes。

The spare （unrealistically styled and empty） homes of rich whites in Brazil， Australia， and upstate New York， along with some mealy-mouthed advice on how to be “sustainable” and feel good about the multi-million-dollar estate you renovated。 Three stars because the pictures ARE pretty！

Neutral color palettes and calm interiors。

This book has lovely photos of simple home decor， but it is so much more than home styling book。 The home owners， from 13 different countries， have views on living a Slow life that are very inspiring。 SLOW meaning Sustainable，Local， Organic and Whole。

So good。 I just got this in the mail + I’m already obsessed with every picture。 It’s such a rich design book。 You can pick it up anywhere in the pages and fall in love with the pictures and read each persons idea of a 'Still/slower life'。 It definitely makes for one of the more perfect coffee table books that I have。 So good。 I just got this in the mail + I’m already obsessed with every picture。 It’s such a rich design book。 You can pick it up anywhere in the pages and fall in love with the pictures and read each persons idea of a 'Still/slower life'。 It definitely makes for one of the more perfect coffee table books that I have。 。。。more

I am in the process of renovating a small house in France and I find myself obsessed with interior decor books at the moment - particularly if they fall into the 'modern rustic' category， as this one does。 Living mindfully is a central tenet of the 'slow' philosophy， which encourages SLOW - Sustainable， Local， Organic， Whole - choices。The homes in this book - 20 in total， in 13 different countries - differ in some ways， but there is still an aesthetic （not just in terms of looks， but also ph I am in the process of renovating a small house in France and I find myself obsessed with interior decor books at the moment - particularly if they fall into the 'modern rustic' category， as this one does。 Living mindfully is a central tenet of the 'slow' philosophy， which encourages SLOW - Sustainable， Local， Organic， Whole - choices。The homes in this book - 20 in total， in 13 different countries - differ in some ways， but there is still an aesthetic （not just in terms of looks， but also philosophy and approach） which unites them。 They are all uncluttered， with lots of 'quiet' and empty space; they tend to have a neutral palette， which is restful on the eyes; they all have an emphasis on natural materials and their textures; and they all tend to feature second-hand （used， vintage） materials or local （artisan， individual） materials or both。This book differs from most interior decor/architecture books in that there is an emphasis - through interviews with the home owners - on how the houses they have created reflect their values and their desire to live a SLOWer life。 It was an inspiring and optimistic book， although it felt repetitious in places。 Still， a pleasure to read and look at and be inspired by。 。。。more

LOVED， but wish that the book also included people who embraced the SLOW lifestyle a long time ago， and not just recent remodels/life changes。

beautiful photography。 i especially loved the Q&A sections with each featured person/couple。 it was refreshing to see the common theme of “not caring much about what others think” running throughout the book。
