From the Publisher
'I've always been homesick for nowhere in particular, at least nowhere I've ever called home. I'm guessing I'm not the only woman who could say that. For all of us, I'm glad Kennesha is here as a been-there-done-that ambassador to a home that is truly nourishing to our own souls and the souls of all who pass through our doors. What a hopeful and necessary perspective in a noisy and chaotic world!' — Hayley Morgan, author of Preach to Yourself and coauthor of Wild and Free and Always Enough, Never Too Much
'Restoration House is a must-read for anyone who longs to create a home with a greater purpose than simply looking pretty. Kennesha guides you through how the heart and soul of your home can reflect the heart and soul of your very life, and that makes all the difference. Make room on your coffee table for this beautiful book.' — Myquillyn Smith, Wall Street Journal bestselling author of Cozy Minimalist Home
'The imagery in this book is stunning, and it complements the thoughts in the book beautifully. They both have a calming and comforting feel. The way Kennesha is able to incorporate home decor tips and seamlessly relate the topic to our spiritual home is outstanding and relatable. I specifically love the inclusion of a reflection at the end of each chapter, as it gives you the opportunity to voice out loud your own personal experience and how it is currently reflecting, or will reflect, in your own home. A must-have book!' — Lucy Akins, artist and creator of Craftberry Bush.com
'Maya Angelou said what our hearts long for most: 'The ache for home lives in all of us, the safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned.' Home is supposed to be a safe place where we go to be seen, heard, refreshed, and restored. God makes His home in our hearts, and I believe He writes His story in our lives and in our homes so that, ultimately, those who enter will find rest and peace in Him. Kennesha has reminded us with this beautifully written book that home is more than its size, shape, and showmanship. It is a sacred space where we invite others in to celebrate, create memories, and experience the joy that is found in authentic living.' — Tara Lowry, creator of Between You and Me Signs
'Kennesha has a beautiful way of creating magic with her words and with her spaces. The combination of the two has led to this stunning book, full of applicable design, wondrous design, and of course, restoring design. This will be in your design library for forever!' — Kirsten Grove, author of Simply Styling and the Simply Grove blog
'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
