"Embrace Your Space is a cheerful book filled with beautiful but accessible home spaces -- a great reminder that a rental home can be personal and stylish even if it's only 350 square feet. Filled with practical tips and a range of aesthetics, this book is sure to leave you with an abundance of ideas to help you transform your own home. It could be simply letting go of what no longer serves you, organizing your closet, or incorporating more color and joy into your space."

“With Embrace Your Space, Katie Holdefehr hits home the fact that design has less to do with big budgets and the vast scale of a space and more to do with the size of the heart, creativity, and intention of its inhabitants. Each home featured is not only a masterclass in editing, craftsmanship, and inventiveness, it is also proof of how beautifully you can live at any price—as long as you deliver big doses of yourself and your personality in your space.”

– Anita Yokota, interior designer and author of Home Therapy
