I drool over every page. This book is gorgeous, I LOVE Ellen's sense of design, so creative, natural, organic, spacious. And the text is like she's talking to you, so down to earth -- her funny, heartful, beautiful self. I use this book to get ideas for my home . . . how can I mimic aspects of what she's doing on an infinately lower budget? With white walls, not cramping too much in, natural, organic colors and items, that's how! Thank you Ellen!!! LOVE YOU and your design sense!!!

I loved every second of reading and looking through this book. This book inspired me to re-decorate a few rooms in my home. I don't have a good income by any means, but the book gave me good ideas to clean up and organize and and add special classy touches without spending a lot of money. (Even though most things in this book are high end items, I just realized that a person can totally work within their budget to make their home look better).

Great overview of Ellen's design style and personal choices - photography is great, just enough supplemental text

The book was interesting to see, and I enjoyed the pictures and the text. However, after reading through only once, I came away with a feeling of slight arrogance on the part of Ellen, of course peppered with humor, but still I would have liked more insight as to her decorating choices, and not so much a list of high-end name dropping of manufacturers and designers. Although the book is entitled HOME, it fell short of the mark for me, and made me feel almost inadequate. I did enjoy the sections titled "What this house taught me", and will re-read those again, along with advice from the other homeowners.

I'm an interior design junkie. When I moved from my house of 30+ years, filled with book cases, I had to give up most of my books. Almost the only ones that made the move from the house to our new condo in the city were my interior design books. If I were to have to go through this "what books to take" kind of decision again, Ellen DeGeneres' HOME would at the top of my list. It's a wonderful book, filled with beautiful designs, masterful design choices, wonderful design advice, and Ellen's very funny commentary.

I love Ellen and immediately bought this book when I heard a YouTuber mention it. It has some really beautiful design ideas. Well worth the purchase

This book is a compilation of 7 houses that Ellen purchased/lived in/decorated over the course of a number of years. There are also chapters devoted to individuals who she worked with on these houses -- i.e., store owners, decorators, etc. The book is printed on good quality paper and there are lots of photos of full rooms. Photos are done very well and I like that they are either full or half room photos. I personally dislike design books that show things on a table, or a corner of a window, etc. and this book doesn't do that. For every chapter on each home, Ellen gives some background about who the architect or builder was, who owned it previously, and how she came about buying it. Added to that in the narrative, she gives information on how the interior design came about. Also, at the end of each of those chapters, there is a page where she gives interesting recommendations on how she did approach the design. She seems very knowledgeable about design and has a keen eye for what she likes. I went through a lot of envy in seeing the photos -- not from the mid-century style aspect, but the size of the homes she's had. The reason I only gave my review 3 stars is because ALL of these homes are done in mid-century style with a very, very slight nod to rustic elements and couple of pieces leaning towards antique-y decor. Had I seen this book in a book store, I would not have purchased it. Personally, I am NOT a fan of mid-century design. If you are a fan of mid-century decor, then this is the book for you. If you are a fan of design books that offer diversity showing all types of styles, then save your money.

Awesome book!!!

It is a simple book, but you can learn something from this. Thank you ellen and portia for your insipred life style

Awesome book ....Very Beautiful pictures ....Love you Ellen😍 ....Best ever book Very quick delivery by Amazon😊😊😊😊😍

Great book, photos and writing. You can hear Ellen’s voice. Totally love it!

Le livre est tel que je l'attendais, aucune déception. Si vous aimez la décoration, c'est un livre magnifique. La livraison par contre a été relativement longue je trouve (une dizaine de jours, ce n'est pas ce qui était prévu...). L'emballage n'a pas non plus suffit, en des coin du livre a été abimé pendant le transport. C'est dommage pour un beau livre surtout à ce prix. J'ai l'habitude de prendre soin de mes livres alors en recevoir un abimé n'est pas agréable. Du coup, le livre d'Elle DeGeneres vaut largement 5 étoiles mais j'en ai enlevé 1 pour le vendeur qui a été long qui ,'a pas bien emballé son produit...

Read it from cover to cover in one sitting! Absolutely love Ellen's style, found it very inspiring and it made me think even more that buying second hand is really the way forward. What character and style she instills in all her homes using such an eclectic mix of furniture, much of it out of my budget unfortunately but I think can be achieved in a similar way using flea market finds. Very entertaining to read too, Ellen writes like she speaks, love it!
