I’ve been reading an e-book titled Kelly Hoppen’s Essential Style Solutions for Every Home. It has the magic as I feel no pressure at all reading it, and it allows me to get to know the way the designer designs every rooms, and meanwhile, as it’s an English version of e-book, it allows me to learn new words and phrases.

One of the reasons that the book attracts me is that there’re design thinking approaches which is similar with what I use in my work.
