In an amusing/snarky voice, James Swan conveys his opinion on all things that should (not) be in your house, and how. I was a little intrigued by the title (that's the point of it), enough to read the first few sections. Most of it is common sense (have a doormat; use frosted glass bulbs instead of clear; cloth napkins are nicer than paper ones), though some is over the top (never-to-be-used decorative hand towels). If I had more time I would have finished reading, but other books are clamoring more loudly for attention.
