HOW TO LIVE WITH OBJECTS

Monica Khemsurov Jill Singer

A Guide to More Meaningful Interiors

Clearly, home design is having a moment! With everyone spending more time at home, many people are looking to make their homes uniquely their own.
One way to do that without breaking out the sledgehammer is with one-of-a-kind, thoughtfully curated objects, whether they be heirlooms, flea market finds, or pieces commissioned by a favorite designer. Former editors at I.D. magazine and co-founders of online magazine Sight Unseen, Monica Kemsurov and Jill Singer, use their expertise to help average people learn how to turn their homes into an interior designer's dream.

Through inspiring home tours and practical advice on how and what to collect, Khemsurov and Singer take you on an educational and highly visual journey through the questions at the core of their design philosophy:
- What makes an object worth having?
- Why should we collect objects, and how do they impact our lives?

HOW TO LIVE WITH OBJECTS guides collectors, design lovers, and novices alike towards a more sophisticated and skilled mindset in acquiring and living with objects. Khemsurov and Singer offer a detailed primer on how to maximize the thoughtfulness of your space, regardless of your size limitations or style preferences. From a deep dive into the world of vintage-hunting, to object stories from creatives like Misha Kahn and Lykke Li, to expert styling tips and tricks, HOW TO LIVE WITH OBJECTS is an indispensable tool for anyone who wants to make their house a home.
