So sagt jedenfalls unsere Autorin Kerstin Wolandewitsch: "Nur wenn die Dinge, die uns umgeben eine Geschichte haben und sich gemeinsam zu einem stimmigen Gesamtbild fügen, kann in unserem Zuhause echtes Wohlbefinden aufkommen."

Zum Beispiel erhält eine uncharmante Truhe einen neuen Anstrich und glänzt in einem tollen Vintage-Stil. Es ist das erste Buch, das Möbelrestaurierung und Wohlfühl-Look zusammenbringt. Es leitet einerseits an, sich seinen persönlichen Wohlfühlraum zu schaffen und erklärt zum anderen ganz konkret und fachkundig, wie guy seine Schätze im Vintage-Stil aufarbeitet.
