Produktbeschreibung
Writer and artist Susan Eaton Mendenhall realizes she has been defined by the places she has lived. Her various homes have each set her on a path to discover something about herself, none more so than the house she named Simplicity. Mendenhall and her husband, Don, were newly married when they moved into the century-old American Foursquare that had recently been converted back into a single home after serving as apartments for a number of years. The house needed attention and care; it was aching to be restored to its original purpose-a place to support the hopes and dreams of a family, a place to be someone's home. This collection of personal stories is about a house that supported the Mendenhalls in their quest to find home by presenting abundant opportunities for growth and enrichment. The house named Simplicity was wise beyond its years, and it became a teacher and partner to the Mendenhalls as they explored their changing lives together, developing over time an intimacy with the spaces of Simplicity that made the house a true home. As readers enter Simplicity's rooms and stories, they are given the opportunity to discover more about their relationship with the places they call home.
Autorenporträt
With a lifelong interest in the places we live and work, Susan is curious about rooms, houses, and buildings and delights in discovering their personalities. Her many lives as interior designer, program director, dancer, and painter influence how she sees and uses spaces. As the former owner of a facility consulting business that interpreted the language of buildings, she writes about the ways our spaces, and what we put in them, shape and impact us. An avid swimmer, fan of English murder mysteries, lover of strong hot coffee, storyteller, intrigued by the 1930s, admirer of Eleanor Roosevelt, creator of celebrations-Susan values simple living. Her mantra is "find the sacred in the everyday and the extraordinary in the ordinary." Susan lives with her photographer husband, Don, in their home named Rumley.
