Description
Wabi-Sabi Welcome applies the basic principles of the wabi-sabi aesthetic to modern entertaining. It’s about being attentive to your guests (listen without being distracted; unplug), creating a welcoming environment (leave the door unlocked; make time to be together), and choosing modest décor (dishes and furniture made from materials that endure, such as wood or clay).
Decorating with nature is emphasised, focusing on foraged, not store-bought blooms. It encourages finding beauty in imperfections, such as wrinkled linen napkins, along with maintaining a relaxed attitude about late-coming guests, and much more.
The book is organised into chapters covering five locations—Japan, Denmark, California, France, and Italy—places where the approach to home décor and entertaining best reflects wabi-sabi principles. It is complete with lush photography and practical checklists.

About the Author
Julie Pointer Adams grew up in Santa Barbara, California, where backyard barbecues, perpetually open doors, and picnics at the beach strongly shaped her sense of what intimate, casual entertaining should be. A background in the studio arts and literature led her to pursue a master of fine arts in environment design, specifically exploring how spaces can better connect us and provide a sense of belonging—especially through sharing our homes and eating together. Having developed and managed Kinfolk magazine’s original dinner and workshop series alongside editor Nathan Williams for several years, Julie has planned, hosted, and overseen hundreds of both small and not-so-small gatherings all over the world. Julie currently resides in Santa Barbara with her husband, Ryan, in a tiny, light-filled artist's studio, where they love to cook together, take photographs, host friends, and lounge in the sun.
