Top Reddit reviews mentioning Interior Decorating books:
I am new to the minimalist lifestyle. I was recommended reading the book Goodbye, Things. It’s 5 hours long Auto and probably a shorter read if you get the book. I highly recommend it for you and your spouse.
In the book he gives 52 ways for becoming a Minimalist. I can’t remember them all but here’s a few: Get rid of anything that is broken, needs fix, junk or that you have two of (obviously clothes do not fall into the later category. Get rid of something right now There won’t be anything that you regret tossing If you ask yourself would I buy this again if your answer is hell ya keep it if it’s not toss it.
That’s about all my little brain retained. ��
Oh when in doubt throw it out Don’t make up creative reasons to keep things If you have a hard time tossing something out put it out of sight for a while. If you think of it 5 times in a month-keep it. If you don’t toss it. Use auction sites to get rid of hard items for you to get rid of (ebay) Don’t get hung up in the price you paid for it. Ok that’s truly it. Read his book. Get your So to read it. Goodbye, Things: The New Japanese Minimalism https://www.amazon.com/dp/0393609030/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_tbZsCbDV13V4P
If you’re going to build furniture on the regular I recommend Human Dimension & Interior Space.
It will give minimum and optimum dimensions for a variety of interior environments like offices, dining areas, etc. It is a really useful reference for people who want to design and build their own furniture.
For a take on OT binatarianism, see Alan Segal’s The Two Powers in Heaven also Margaret Barker’s The Great Angel: A Study of Israel's Second God
Having to make that decision is a horrible position to be in, but you will have peace in setting her free from her suffering. This book was very helpful to me after the third time I had to euthanize a cat.

My prediction - The Minimalists are not well liked on Reddit - probably why he's getting downvoted. What was once an honest message turned in to a weird health guru podcasts of jumping on all the latest trends. I found them very hard to listen to.
Another book rec is Goodbye, Things by Fumio Sasaki: https://smile.amazon.com/Goodbye-Things-New-Japanese-Minimalism/dp/0393609030
It's on the cover of a great book Emotional Design: Why We Love (or Hate) Everyday Things
Which is a follow up to the famous book The Design of Everyday Things
Both highly recommended to anyone interested in design (not just product design - my company recommends these book in software and solution design as well)
The Jews of Jesus time DID have a notion of multiple hypostasis, or faces of God.
Here is one book about this. There is some written evidence that some during that time frame believed God had as many as 10 hypostasis. It was a major discussion during that time frame, who was the other face of God that shows up from time to time in the Old Testament, and the Christian revelation is that is Jesus, while the rabbinic Jews rejected that revelation so much they rewrote and whitewashed notable figures such as Rabbi Akiva whom was known for believing the Two Powers in heaven idea.

I don’t know the names of the sects but these 2 books here talk about them. These books are also written by modern Jewish scholars so there’s no Christian bias
Possibly, there was a sect of Judaism that believed the messiah would be God or some sort of divine being. The most popular verses that indicate this are Daniel 7:14 (“Son Of Man”, “Ancient Of Days”) and some verses talking about “The Angel Of The Lord”
Here are some books by modern day Jewish scholars who affirm the belief that the messiah would be God (second hypostasise of YHWH)

No John 9 just says “ I am that man” just a regular man, unlike John where Jesus says I AM the bread of life
As for Daniel 7:14 you have to read it in it’s full context “9I beheld until the thrones were set, and the Ancient of days sat; and his raiment was white as snow, and the hair of his head, as pure wool: his throne was a flame of fire, and his wheels burning fire. 10A stream of fire rushed forth before him: thousand thousands ministered to him, and ten thousands of myriads, attended upon him: the judgment sat, and the books were opened. 11I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which that horn spoke, until the wild beast was slain and destroyed, and his body given to be burnt with fire. 12And the dominion of the rest of the wild beasts was taken away; but a prolonging of life was given them for certain times. 13I beheld in the night vision, and, lo, one coming with the clouds of heaven as the Son of man, and he came on to the Ancient of days, and was brought near to him. 14And to him was given the dominion, and the honour, and the kingdom; and all nations, tribes, and languages, shall serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom shall not be destroyed.
The “Ancient of day” was understood to be YHWH and “coming with clouds of heaven” was understood to be some sort of divine deity.
Here are some books by modern day Jewish school who affirm the second hypostasise of YHWH

Son Of Man was understood to be the messiah and some ancient Jews also understood it YHWH was a trinity. See This video and this book
two powers in heaven (That book is written by a Jew who confirms that there was a belief that YHWH was a Trinitarian God)
Son of Man comes from daniels prophecy
13I beheld in the night vision, and, lo, one coming with the clouds of heaven as the Son of man, and he came on to the Ancient of days, and was brought near to him.
14And to him was given the dominion, and the honour, and the kingdom; and all nations, tribes, and languages, shall serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom shall not be destroyed.
Also when Jesus says “ I AM” he’s claiming to be God.
Read this book: Goodbye, Things: The New Japanese Minimalism. This book explains how embracing the minimalist lifestyle will free you from envying others, and being content with yourself. Thanks to minimalism, I'm no longer envious of my successful friends.
See Daniel Boyarin's Gospel of the Memra and Alan Segal's Two Powers in Heaven: Early Rabbinic Reports about Christianity and Gnosticism.
Ehrman's popular book How Jesus Became God was a response to Hurtado's work where he (Ehrman) has Jesus as a mal’akh.
It seems, also, that Boyarin, Hurtado, and Ehrman build off of the work of Segal.
Would you care to comment about this?
A book has been published recently, around 6 months ago, about going further than even Konmari, decluttering and minimalism etc.
Same here. My favorite discovery was a book called "The Knight and the Blast Furnace," which is like $300. I guess niche academic subjects need to earn money somehow, but dang.
Hot damn, his website is just like the Vickers. Obsolete, functional, and bulletproof.
That's not a bad idea...I shall have to do so when I've got a few hundo for a reference book. Though, with out of print stuff it's not getting any cheaper...
Case in point: The Knight and the Blast Furnace, there was no way I was paying $500 for a copy. It is one of the gold-standard reference texts for the development, methodology, and metallurgy behind medieval maille and plate. Really wanted to have it back when I was making elbow cops and assembling vambraces for a guy that sold armor to SCA and ARMA dorks. Was unable to locate it and had to go without. Recently found a pdf, it's such a good read.
I think this book on interior design could be cool, or even this book, which details the history of makeup. I'm sure she'd love that one.
I think having an interest in makeup is fine, and as long as she feels confident and isn't hurting anyone, I don't think you need to worry :)
Since she's studying interior design, I'm sure she needs a portfolio. She might really like a nice portfolio book for showing off her work.
Ah yes. I can see why that would be tough. Painting does sound like a beautiful way to memorialize her when you're in less pain. If reading helps you, I recommend "The Pet Loss Companion" and "Coping with sorrow on the loss of your pet" both very helpful. Again, so sorry you're going through this.
Dude. Furniture is one of the oldest expressions of art! Holy shit. Every designer worth his salt has cut his teeth on designing chairs. There are hundreds of books about it. I think if you read a book like this your brain would explode http://www.amazon.com/1000-Chairs-Charlotte-Peter-Fiell/dp/3836546744
This is amazing. Look around you, everything you see right now is art. Some art is better than others. But that pen you're using, the laptop you're typing on, the lamps in your room; that's all art!
Before I lose myself in that tangent, I think you are confusing my points.
You state that there are certain things (cameras, couches, pillows) that "have no function" and are useless and illogical.
I am saying I disagree. You make many decisions (like the kitchen and gym) that I could argue are functionless. Because they are to me. However, they do have a function for you, and so I do not think they are useless and illogical.
It is that last step you struggle with. Just because you don't see their function, doesn't mean they are functionless.
I posit that their function is aesthetic. Their function is mood... its ambiance. It's turning the prison cell one lives in into a home they feel comfortable in. What this means is that while they may not have the function you ascribe to them, there still is another purpose.
There's a book by Don Norman called Emotional Design. It changed how I look at design and a lot of everyday things in general. It's about why people like the things they like, and why they associate with them. A lot of the book covers how things can be made more usable, but that making things more usable does not always equate to its popularity. It ends with a few chapters about robots.
