The book brims with design ideas for every taste, from a Spanish colonial-influenced house on axis with views of Arizona's Mummy Mountain, to a reimagined historic English Tudor, to a modernist home inspired by ranch haciendas.
Candelaria describes the design process with many personal anecdotes illustrating the design of a home should be fun and result in a backdrop to living one's best life. An avid traveler and hobbyist chef, Candelaria includes a recipe inspired by each house, prepared for or with the client as a grand finale.
