Your home should tell your story! Join us at Da Book Joint for an inspiring evening with Amber Guyton, interior designer, author, and founder of Blessed Little Bungalow, as we celebrate her debut book, Soulful Maximalism.
In Soulful Maximalism, Amber invites readers to create homes that reflect their personalities, cultures, memories, and the things that bring them joy. Through bold colors, layered textures, meaningful artwork, cherished heirlooms, and intentional design, she shows us how to create spaces that feel uniquely ours—without losing sight of function, organization, or budget.
Whether you’re ready to transform an entire room or simply want to bring more personality into your space, this book offers inspiration, practical tips, and beautiful visual examples to help you design a home that feels like you.
