This captivating collection reveals the fascinating stories behind more than 60 everyday household objects and furnishings. Readers will discover tales from the kitchen, the bedroom, and every room in between, including: how napkins got their start as lumps of dough in ancient Greece, why forks were seen as immoral and unhygienic tools of the devil, and how Plato devised one of the earliest alarm clocks using stones and water, plus so much more! Brimming amusing anecdotes and absorbing trivia, and delivered in a striking package with foil accents, The Elements of a Home is a treasure trove of curiosities and a must-have for anyone who loves history, design, or decor.
