Description

by Serena Mitnik-Miller (Author), Mason St Peter (Author)

From the founders of General Store, Abode is a collection of Serena Mitnik-Miller and Mason St. Peter's effortlessly cool, quintessentially California interiors, and a look at how to re-create that style anywhere.

The yearning for a life of pared-down purity has built to a roar, and Serena Mitnik-Miller and Mason St. Peter--the husband-and-wife owners of General Store, one of California's most talked-about shops--are at the forefront. In Abode: Thoughtful Living with Less, these tastemakers make a graceful case for living better no matter your budget or abilities, guiding you to create a space that is simple and true. Their time-tested methods allow you to:
  • Create interiors that maximize openness
  • Strip a building back to its bones
  • Amplify natural light
  • Evoke unpretentious tranquility
  • Embrace elemental materials
  • Curate handcrafted objects
  • Celebrate furnishings from eras when craftsmanship was king
  • And much more!
The author's make clear their approach, one they learned as they rebuilt and redesigned their own home: "Honoring a structure's history and channeling its purest form lie at the heart of our design aesthetic."

Filled with more than 150 photographs and practical step-by-step instructions, this visual exploration of Mitnik-Miller and St. Peter's greatest collaborations will take you through their breathtaking rooms, each a masterpiece of warm minimalism.

Serena and Mason write, "We encourage you to embrace the spirit of the open plan and promote flow as much as possible--whether it's taking out surplus doors, subtly dissolving thresholds between rooms, or just reorganizing furniture. We believe that living happily in a place depends on utilizing it to its fullest and eliminating anything that doesn't serve it from a practical point of view."

Abode is a glimpse into the couple's process and a guide to manifesting your own beautiful interiors.
