Interior designer and television host Jeremiah Brent explores the emotional meaning of home in this warm and inviting book that illuminates what make peoples' spaces so personally significant.
For many of us, our houses are more than just dwellings where we stash our belongings. They are our homes, the places that reflect our tastes and personalities, but more importantly, embody our emotions and dreams. For years, acclaimed interior designer and beloved television personality Jeremiah Brent lived in one beautiful dwelling after the next. Yet after a short time, he always felt the pull to move on. Curious to understand why, he embarked on a deeply personal mission to discover what makes a home The Space That Keeps You.
The Space That Keeps You isn't just a study of beautiful interior design; it's an emotional design book that delves into the deep feelings that make spaces meaningful. Through candid conversations with nine individuals and families from a range of backgrounds, lifestyles, and geographic locations, Jeremiah reveals how and why the spaces we inhabit come to feel like they truly belong to us--the memories, emotions, and stories that shape what home signifies.
Their stories are bookended by Jeremiah's recollections of his own journey defining home with his husband, fellow interior designer and television personality Nate Berkus, and their two children. He introduces memorable people like the artist couple James and Alexandra Brown who made an abandoned plot in Merida, Mexico their accidental paradise, and Tracy and Brian Robbins who found refuge during the pandemic in a serene single-story home in Montecito surrounded by fields of lavender. He illuminates an even more personal side of Oprah Winfrey as she talks about the importance of nature in her dream of home, and describes the story of Giberto and Bianca Arrivabene, who fought to hold onto their family's historic Venetian palazzo.
Filled with intimate, meaningful details--from the kitchen that now nourishes the grandchildren of the adoring couple who first cooked there fifty years ago to the beams of one apartment's walls that are etched with hearts to literally represent the love that fills it--and accompanied by 300 inviting and inspiring color photographs--The Space That Keeps You gets to the heart of what makes a house a home. Just like Jeremiah himself, readers will leave this book with a newfound appreciation for not just the physical beauty but the sentimental beauty of the places that connect and shape us.

Received an Advanced Reader Copy from a friend. I am an avid true crime reader and upon completion I question if the author is credible. The timeline does not add up for his age and the times of his alleged involvement in organized crime. Some of the things in the book he is alleged to have said and done I remember almost word for word from movies I had previously watched. He literally stole a scene from the movie the accountant with Ben Affleck and said that he did it. I did a little research after completing the book and learned that this author was also claiming in 2010 that he was a long time member of the Bloods Gang. That coupled with the above leads me to believe that it is nothing more than fantasy. Do not waste your time or money

What a difficult story to tell. I appreciate the honesty and vulnerability. Definitely made me think.
I had hopes for this book but was not expecting what I would read within the pages. If your kink is deplorable grammar, incoherent sentences, and inconsistent messages, then this book is for you. At first, I thought the book I received was not the book I ordered. But as I dived in, it was very confusing. I would not recommend this book to anyone
There are not many reviews on the internet for this book. In researching the many stores selling the book, it was self-published which makes a lot of sense. The online description is written perfectly, so reading the actual book was very difficult. Pages two and three are written clearly as well as the table of contents. Pages 155 and 156 are also written logically.
It appears this book was written, then sent through a program like “Grammarly.” Once completed it seems it was published without being re-read or edited. The first clue was the title narrative that used “Has” instead of “As.” The table of contents is one page off from what it shows on pages four though seven. Many of the “q’s” are written as “[]”
Below are some examples of what was within the pages of this book written verbatim:
“Chains & Discipline/ Domination & entry/ Sadism & Masochism (BDSM) is a wide classification of bed room play.” Page 9
“When bringing up the topic of chains, you are actually asking a person to offer you their depend on, their flexibility, and also possibly their suggestion of security in exchange for sensual/sexual enjoyment, power-play, and also feasible re-evaluation of your very own connection.” Page 39
“Techni[]ue can take a selection of kinds and also be as easy or facility as you pick to (new paragraph) bargain for your details scenario” Page 52
“BDSM stands for chains as well as entry, technique and also supremacy as well as sadism and also masochism.” Page 125
“SHELF means Risk Aware Consensual Kink.” Page 130
“Approval is whatever.” Page 152
“your twist isn’t my twist, yet your twist is OKAY.” Page 153
“You can be a top, base, or button” Page 153
Good service, good book. Just what I was looking for! Thank you!
