Loved by her readers for her chic interior designs and frank and funny revelations about life behind the scenes of her picture-perfect blog, bestselling author and designer Erin Gates presents a new book about how to live stylishly amidst the chaos of daily family life. Throughout her career designing homes for families of all kinds all over the country, Erin has always maintained that living with children and pets does not mean that you have to forego nice things. This uniquely personal and practical guide will explain how to create a home that makes you proud and reflects your own style while also being durable, safe, and comfortable for children. It focuses on the spaces families share, those that are dedicated to the kids, and the oft-forgotten retreats for parents. Erin combines honest design advice and gorgeous inspirational photographs with engaging and intimate personal essays about life lessons learned the hard way while struggling with infertility and becoming a mother, managing a business, overseeing her own home renovation, and finding time for her marriage.
She’ll share how to store toys so that shared spaces don’t look like a kindergarten, the expensive-looking fabrics that will stand up to a marauding toddler with sticky hands, nursery looks that go beyond blue and pink, and furniture that does not have to be stored during the baby-proofing years. She also showcases the work of other designers she loves who surround parents, children, and their pets with comfort and beauty. Like a best friend who has a knack for style and a taste for fun, Erin opens her front door and invites you into her life and all of its beautiful imperfection.

Your service was absolutely amazing, prompt, efficient and very responsive to my queries. I ordered my gorgeous temple jars on a Saturday and had received them by Monday....I was ecstatic especially during these trying times. My jars are gorgeous, and everyone comments when they see them.
My experience with Anna from C’est Bien Collection was an absolute delight. I first saw the beautiful framed hydrangea prints on Instagram and messaged Anna and nothing was a problem from my first message until they were delivered in perfect condition to me at the Gold Coast. I was totally informed about everything until they arrived.
I cannot speak highly enough of Anna. She was very responsive and very patient! (I can be very indecisive) The shipping was affordable and very quick and the pictures themselves are sensational! The whole process was easy and stress free. Highly recommend.
I love my Ginger Jars and frames from C'est Bien Collection! I was concerned they wouldn't make it in one piece as I live in Perth but it was packed perfectly! I would definitely recommend C'est Bien Collection.
I received a very fast delivery & excellent follow up with courier company. Also, very helpful customer service & a beautiful product. Would definitely shop again.
Anna was wonderful to talk to and extremely helpful. She gave me some great advice on choosing my paintings which made my final decision an easy one. I also didn’t have to wait long for them to arrive, they were packaged well and arrived promptly. I am so happy and just love them.
