Dallas/Fort Worth — Drawing
from a rich family history and her own collection of acclaimed designs,
California-based interior designer Roxanne Packham has joined with her
teenage daughter Hannah to create Inspired Design (Inspired
Design Publications, 2010), an idea-provoking book filled with stunning
photographs, treasured family traditions and a plethora of truly
inspirational tips for creating a warm and welcoming home, not just
throughout the holiday season, but every day to follow.
Whether seeking unique ways to entertain
for the upcoming holidays, celebrate with friends, begin new family
traditions or showcase the family history, talents and passions in the
home’s interior design, the Packhams have shown the way. In doing so,
they have utilized the beautifully structured pages of Inspired Design
to reveal the classic truth that any home is made more beautiful when
it is filled with love, joy and the determination to make those who
enter it feel welcomed.
Decorating for the holidays can be a
daunting task, whether it is in preparation for family or for a spouse’s
office party. Roxanne offers simple ideas for making your home
welcoming and comfortable for guests. Hannah is able to offer, from a
teen’s perspective, ways of getting the entire family involved in
holiday preparations while teaching your children the art of
hospitality. With today’s busy, high-tech lifestyle, these are important
lessons we often overlook.
With a desire to celebrate the beauty of
home and family, the mother-daughter duo has skillfully melded their
own store of family memories and candid observations with photos of
impeccably designed interiors to remind the reader of the home’s power
and ability to change lives. Their purpose in writing Inspired Design
is straightforward: “To inspire you to create a home that touches the
soul of those within, as well as all who walk through the doors.”
Borne on the wings of their earnest prayers, Inspired Design
is far from being just another photo-rich book on interior design.
Instead, it is a beautifully rich hospitality book focused as much on
what visitors entering the home will feel as on what they might see.
Once their collaboration on the book was finished, this mother-daughter
duo knew they had found their calling. To continue the work they had
begun, Roxanne and Hannah founded Inspired31.org, an organization
devoted to inspiring teenage girls, mothers and others to find and
follow God’s plan for their lives. Along with funding Inspired31.org,
sales of the book go straight to Heart of Hope (a ministry that
advocates for orphans and at-risk children in Romania) and other
selected charities. The Packhams’ unified mission is to change lives one
heart at a time.
Inspired Design is
a gorgeous coffee table book and a wonderful example of how a mother
can pass on her skills as a homemaker and mother to her daughters so
that their homes will be open lovely places to be for all who spend time
there…gracious for family as well as friends.
