Beauty at Home

When I’m reading a book I always try to take away a lesson or at least some knowledge that I can apply to my own life.Besides the great photos and a peak into the legacy and lifestyle of the heiress to a cosmetic empire, Aerin Lauder shares how she gracefully honors her grandmother’s legacy while also keeps true to her own aesthetic lifestyle that is realistic for her modern family.The photography is gorgeous and the reader can definitely take away some design ideas. At the very least it’s a pretty book and a fun glimpse into a totally different world.

This is a beautiful book, definitely a coffee table book. No doubt Aerin Lauder has a fantastic life - something most of us can only dream of. I felt somewhat inspired at first, but as I progressed through the book I realized this book and the lifestyle it embodies is nowhere near my lifestyle or even what it could be. Decorating at Aerin's level is just not obtainable for most of us. "Down to earth" is not what this book is about. If you want to see what the rich and famous lifestyle is about, then this is the book for you.

The book is beautiful, photographs exceptional!!

I had looked at the book and I really enjoy it..... She mentioned about her grandmother - Estee Lauder - whom I admired. Another thing I liked about her (Aerin Lauder) in this book that she related whatever ideas or projects she come up with, it would relate to what her grandmother had taught her and she can come up some ideas of her own...... Thank You Aerin Lauder for this book. (Also, I can see that you can be your own person as well - I feel that is what she (Aerin Lauder) did).

Part memoir part style inspiration. While I may not like all her style choices or advice , it offers a solid guide to finding your own style while learning some techniques and tips. It spans generations and incompases lots of different peoples tastes. I like that. Life is not one size fits all and this book recognizes that and inspires you to find your style, not just in a home, but also in life. It encourages you to take chances and dare. Aerin certainly created more than a house decoration book. I highly recommend it!

While I bought this book for a different reason, surprisingly it reminded me of my special relationship with my late grandmother and family. I guess some things are universal no matter where you come from.

I checked this book out of the library and soon realized I needed to purchase one for myself. The rooms pictured in the book give you great ideas on how to put the old with the new with real style. This is a keeper!

I really wanted to love this book, but as some of the other reviewers have said, it is rather unoriginal, cliched and oddly content-free. I'm not exactly sure who this book is aimed at, other than anyone really interested in Aerin Lauder, and willing to pay rather a lot for any information about her life. I was hoping for a lot more about design. As another reviewer said, there are so many close ups - the kind that we are all used to now from instagram and blogs - of flowers, of a tablescape, of dishes, etc., that it is very hard to get an idea of how the rooms actually look. Some of the text about how she made her design choices is interesting, but I would like a lot more.

Schöne harmonische Abbildungen.Die Farbgestaltung der einzelnen Räume wirkt sehr elegant und stielvoll, mit Geschmack.In der Art, was man von Aerin Lauder kennt.

stunning book , beautiful pictures and reading, looks amazing on the coffee table

love this book. So full of gorgeous photos, that even if you don't have a New York apartment or a place in the Hamptons, it doesn't matter. It can and will inspire you to make your home even more beautiful and cosy. The focus is on comfort for the family and making memories. This is a book I shall read again and again.

This book is beautiful full of lovely photographs of Aerin and her family and her lovely homes.Although Aerin has had a very privileged life she comes across as very down to earth.Everytime i look through this book it makes me smile..

Great content. Perfect as a showcase book. Fast delivery. Would recommend.
