  <default_description>Via her weekly syndicated column, &#8220;At Home with Marni Jameson,&#8221; Jameson is one of the funniest, most eagerly read purveyors of home-improvement advice. &lt;I&gt;The House Always Wins&lt;/I&gt;, her compulsively readable, zanily humorous, yet completely practical guide hailed by critics, now has even more moneysaving advice on creating, living in, and even selling a beautiful, livable home.</default_description>
