Description

'I've noticed (and loved) two things in particular about Kennesha, her writing, and her work for the past few years: 1) everything she does is beautiful and reflects the beauty of God, and 2) her revolution around the word restoration. In a world obsessed with making everything flashy, tidy, and fake, I love the idea and the pursuit of restoration. I'm so thankful for her gentle leading toward it. Yes to restored homes, families, identities, and hearts. You'll love this book, you'll love Kennesha, and you'll love your own restored life a little more after reading it.' -- Jess Connolly, author of Dance, Stand, Run and coauthor of Wild and Free and Always Enough, Never Too Much -- Jess Connolly Kennesha Buycks is the creator of Restoration House. A Southern transplant to the Pacific Northwest, she has a passion for connecting others, gathering, and inspirational styling and design. When Kennesha is not busy being a wife to her amazing husband or a mama to her four kids, she spends her time writing, blogging, and encouraging others to live life uniquely and with passion. Find her online at RestorationHouseBlog.com and on Instagram @restorationhouse.

Wonderful gift, for yourself and others

Restoration House beautifully communicates the truth of the purpose and need for home – for creating a place for ourselves and those in our community to rest, engage, and be nourished. Kennesha offers thoughtful tips for designing your home, whether temporary rental apartment or dream house, along with creative hosting tips to invite others in to our lives. I soaked up the book in one day.

Very Meaningful and Heartfelt

I had been following Kennesha Buycks on Instagram for a while and decided to purchase this book based on her warmth and grace. I took the time to read it through and then gifted it to a family member who was going through a rough spot in her life. It truly is a blessing to all who read it. I like the balance of personality and sparsity she infuses into spaces, bringing light to what could be almost too neutral palettes. Her asides and stories add to the book so much and can help bring clarity to a congested mind and soul.

Not just a book on decorating

Most enjoyable decorating book I've ever bought--& I've got them all! So inspiring and encouraging! Feels like Kennesha is sitting on your sofa talking to you as you read this book. Refreshingly honest and real. Not passing this one on--it will stay on my coffee table for quite some time!

Warmth for the Soul!

Restoration House: This book warmed my very soul in ways I had not felt in years. The writer opens up about her own internal struggles and allows us to see into her own Restoration which is her very heart. This book caused me to examine my relationship with my Family and with those I love the most by reflecting my heart through the warmth of my home. The book gave tips that I immediately put in use with loving care for those entering my home. My home now has a name: It is simply known as "Grace".

A home staple...

Beautiful quality, thoughtful writing, and heartfelt perspective. A few chapters in and I can already say it’s one of my favorites. This is not your average home inspiration read, it’s a lifestyle book that leans into the heart of God and his restoring love. One to be shared with friends and family.

Engaging in deeper questions about home

This book does a great job of trying to help its' readers engage with the 'why' we are putting so much effort into our homes... is it because we're just trying to please someone else? Or is it a restorative place for us? I've really enjoyed reading through it!
