Using beautiful color photographs of the interiors of exceptional homes across the country that look good and feel right, Dunne demonstrates creative and easy ways to decorate for all five senses in our own homes. According to Dunne, a truly integrated home engages every sense:
-- Sight -- Create interest with color, light, and focus
-- Smell -- Set a mood with candies, fresh flowers, or scented inks
-- Touch -- Use fabrics and textures, air and water, and unusual surfaces to convey emotion and in intimacy
-- Hearing -- Let music into all areas of your life through creative placement of speakers throughout the house
-- Taste -- Pique the "party" sense with pictures of food, display ornamental plates, and keep dishes of fruit and candy readily available

Stressing that interior design is more than a superficial concern, that it can help you "design your life", Dunne connects with a generation that yearns to understand the emotional needs of a healthy family and passionately believes that the home is a mirror of the soul. She enthusiastically teaches how anyone can decorate a home to celebrate a family's creativity and passion in life.
