Just a couple of weeks ago, more than half of all Australians were in lockdown. This week, it continues to look concerning in NSW and QLD, and no one knows what the next weeks or months will bring.
Everyone is more or less struggling with the confinement of our homes, the loss of income, schooling our children and living in uncertainty. I think we can all agree that it is essential for us and our mental wellbeing to turn to the good things and focus on what lies within our control. We will get through this, and one day life will feel and look normal again.
To help you stay positive, proactive and inspired, we have collated a list of our Top 9 most favourite Home & Interior Books. Hopefully, this gives you something to look forward to, something to dream about, and an opportunity to retreat when it all gets too much.
We are in it together, and we will get through it together. Let's stay strong, kind and positive.
