Meet the book you’ll reach for on days when you crave a softer, slower life: The Nature of Home by Jeff Dungan, a coffee table companion for anyone who loves houses that feel like they’ve always been there. These are “forever homes” — beach cottages, farmhouses, lake retreats — designed with patina, light, and landscape in mind, the kind of spaces that look as if they grew right out of the land.
Features:
Coffee table book by architect and author Jeff Dungan
Explores eight deeply lived-in homes, from Gulf Coast beach house to Alabama family farm and Southern lake house
Rich photography paired with poetic reflections on nature, memory, and what makes a house feel like home
Thematic essays on elements like light, stone, and rooflines, written in an inviting, almost lyrical voice
Perfect for homebodies, design lovers, and anyone dreaming of a more grounded, nature-led way of living
How we style it:
Place it on a side table next to your favorite chair with a mug of tea and a throw blanket within reach, or stack it under a small vase of wildflowers on your kitchen counter. We love opening it to a favorite spread before planning a room refresh, a move, or even just a Sunday rearrange — it’s a quiet nudge toward creating spaces that feel honest, warm, and wholly yours.
