In Making Yourself at Home Jane also shares her personal anecdotes about entertaining and painting. About how much photographs of her family mean to her, and about the challenges she's overcome throughout her life.

Using colors, textures, furniture and light, Jane encourages everyone to make their home an artistic outlet as well as center for artistic expression. With style and grace, Seymour encourages readers to celebrate and nurture their own personal styles, and to bring family and friends into the process.
