Comfort Living is a book that will help you transform your home into a balanced, organized and hub where you can be yourself. No need to follow the latest design trend if it isn’t your style. No need to be chained to your cleaning closet or hire an organizer (sorry to my organizer friends). Take eight weeks and enjoy being in your home doing what you love. New Years Resolution perhaps?
Christine Eisner, the author of Comfort Living: A Back-to-Basics Guide to a More Balanced Lifestyle
The photos are beautiful and inspiring. The steps include exercises where you focus on what your personal style is and then put that into action. Organization is a big part of Comfort Living, but it isn’t done rigidly. In fact you will learn to keep your home tidy in small steps. It is broken up into eight chapters which can be completed in eight weeks.
This is part workbook, instructional book and photography book. It does assist with design, but it is your own style that you will discover and use in your home. A small book, Comfort Living Journal, is available also. You can keep track of your Treasures and Obstacles.

I would love for my home to be just a tad bit more homey. It is but the bedroom is actually the furniture that my husband had when he was a bachelor. it is not the pieces that I care for. We have been married for over 11 yr and it is still that furniture.
I would also love to know how to have storage space when a home really doesn’t have that much.
I would make my home more my own style by putting my imprint on the office area. It’s so lifeless and cluttered, I would love suggestions and help with it!
I want to make my home more my style by buying things that I love from yard sales and thrift stores. Buying used gives me the sense of having treasures throughout my home.

Yes please, I need help ,making my home homey —I didn’t expect to be here long (it’s been 4 years now) I think it’s time to put my stamp on things!

What a great book. I decluttered my home a few years ago and strive for finding a home for everything that we need/use but sometimes I think the design is a bit sterile. It sounds like Comfort Living would certainly be helpful in finding balance.

I would incorporate one of the rooms into a library.
I would get rid of the clutter and paint my plain white walls with a warm color.

I’d love to make my home more in my own style, but unfortunately, my husband has a complete opposite style, and I can’t just disregard his feelings. So I’d like to have just one room in the house (or bedroom?) that could reflect more of my tastes and vision. I like a very modern, minimalist look with an extra dose of femininity that one doesn’t usually associate with such a decor.
updating somethings mverno@roadrunner.com
I would like more Indian print fabrics, knit or crocheted blankets, things like that to spruce up large wooden dressers, tables, and our couch. Just add a little more visual interest and warmth to the room!
I’d like to give the kids library a more suess-like feel.
I would like to turn my formal dining room into a library. I don’t cook, but I read a lot!
I’m the author and thanks SO much for all these comments!
I want to let you know that the first session of my Comfort Living Club is this Tuesday. I hope you’ll join me and pass this on to others. It’s amazing how the smallest changes can put you on a path to a more comfortable and enriching lifestyle, so here’s to moving toward positive change!
All the best,
Christine
some info:
Livestreaming is from 7:30 to 8:30 pm EST. I will personally guide you through my book, which was designed as an 8-week process to demystify the notion of “living well” and bring a more balanced lifestyle within easy reach. (Dates: January 12 and 26, February 9 and 23, March 9th. If you can’t join the live session, you can always view the recording afterwards).
I have learned that it doesn’t take much to live a little better and — greater still — money is not a necessity for “living well”. After all:
• How long does it take to crack open a window to bring in the fresh air?
• How long does it take to frame a photograph or make it your screensaver?
• How long does it take to tell a friend or family member that you care?
All are welcome to join, so feel free to pass this on!
Christine
Since we spend most of our time in the living room I would like to change the furniture to more of my liking
I’d make it more obvious that music is a big part of my life, both listening and playing an instrument. I’d use old sheet music for wall decor, start a collection of musical symbols, etc.
paint the walls
I would like my house to be more homey-kind of like Grandma’s house

I would like to make my home have a more cohesive style, right now it’s just a mix of mismatched furniture with no real point of view.
I would 1) pare down and build from there & 2) get a couch cover!
I would love to be able to declutter and rearrange what we have to give the whole place a homey feel. We recently moved to this area and the new place is smaller than our old one. I would love to be able to utilize my storage option better, which I think would actually give me more room. I need to add art to more walls and update my pictures.
I think I know what I want to do and I am looking for the few pieces I want to add.
Christine – I will definitely try to catch your Comfort Living livestream. If not I will watch it when I get time later in the evening.

I would like the house a bit more in my style by removing the clutter caused by the kids school stuff
i would like to make it a little more modern and edgy
I would like to have more artwork for my walls.
I feel like my home is pretty homey, and fits my style well, but there are things I could do to make it flow better and the storage work better. I always joke that my “inside” stuff (the closets, cabinets, etc.) is much more clutter-free than the “outside” stuff that people actually see!
I would have more leather furniture!
I would love to overhaul my kitchen decor. I have a lot of red items because my tastes were different when I first married. I’d love to go more white/natural/yellow/green instead.

I’d clear out a lot of the clutter…get rid of things we don’t use or need. I think I’d be a lot less stressed out and more comfortable in my home.

I’d really like more little nooks and cozy spots where one could curl up near a window and read or just sit with a throw and some pillows and enjoy nature.

I would like to make my home more of my style by adding some vintage pieces and photographs. I am a huge Marilyn Monroe fan, so I would like to incorporate a framed pic of her into my home.
