Good Character by David St Russell

Highlight the character of your home with design and styling inspiration from the Renovation Husbands

For Stephen and David St. Russell, aka the Renovation Husbands, a home with character is not necessarily old, but one that is created with craft and intention. Follow along in this gorgeous design book as they go room by room, breaking down the process behind every design decision and explaining how each element used can contribute to building character in your home.

Good Character reveals the power of architectural millwork to make a space more interesting, how the use of bold colors can be impactful in a space, and why mixing of vintage and modern furniture (at every price point) can make all the difference.

The Renovation Husbands are here to help you create rooms in your home that make you burst with pride. With a wealth of tools and information including transparent overlays, high quality illustrations, and photography, this is an accessible home guide that will remove the illusion of complexity and empower you to transform any room in your house into something unique.
