If Walls Could Speak
The Story Behind HomeBooks
Time passes and life changes, as we speak. Children grow up and then they leave home. We move houses and neighborhoods, cities and countries. We renovate, we change things, we ourselves change. It’s beautiful and it’s hard. We can’t stop time. But we can hold it in our hearts. We can treasure those very moments that make up the most touching experiences.
We want to help you celebrate your home in the most authentic way possible, with beautiful photography and a design that you choose together with us, all at the highest professional level and infused with love.
A Living and Breathing Family Creation
This book offers a world of possibilities: Document a day in the life of your family by telling a story or bringing alive the narrative told by your house - the treasures you have collected, the things you own and use, that sculpture you brought back all the way from Africa, the delicious food you cook, the pets you love, the jewelry that have been with you along the way, hobbies, family dynamics. Meals around the table, barbecues with good friends, the garden you grow with love, your daily run around the block, kids playing in the pool and afternoon coffee with your girlfriends.
Snapshot before a big life event: Your daughter is starting school for the first time. Document the things that she loves - her room, the stuff she keeps in her drawers, the pictures she hangs on her walls, the snacks she hides for when the moment strikes, the things she loves to put in her backpack. Your son’s Bar Mitzvah, the golden anniversary of your marriage, and more…. All the little moments that make your home the place where you belong, feel safe, and are loved. A place where life is created. And this is just the beginning of what we can offer you.
Reading Between the Lines
The book is laid out and designed according to modular templates that offer a wide range of formatting, sizes, layouts and options.
We’ve summarized the stages of the process for you:
We meet and get to know you, in person or on Zoom (based on a questionnaire sent ahead of time)
We plan the concept, topic and content of the book, including lists of the people and items we will photograph and details such as format, length and design.
We schedule photography days and a date with a professional writer who will collect your stories and work with them.
We photograph you using a professional team that helps prepare you and is by your side every step of the way.
We write your story, and then edit and proof-read diligently until all t’s are crossed and i’s are dotted - and then we send it to you for approval.
We design the book and the graphic layout, all according to the concept and format chosen by you.
We print and publish a hardcover edition of the book with chromo pages and a meticulous finish (3-10 copies).
HomeBooks and its many offerings make a perfect gift for special and meaningful events, or even for just celebrating life: Silver and gold anniversaries, weddings, Sweet Sixteens, Bar Mitzvahs, transitions in time, relocation, a growing family, first events, and more…
We are here to make this incredible gift a reality - for you and with you.
The Woman Behind the Words
Limor Zomer Arik, founder and owner of Zomer HomeBooks Publishing. Has over two decades experience publishing opinion-leading boutique books and bestsellers in the categories of home, culture and leisure, architecture and design.
What I love most is to walk into a home and study it, get to know its family and discover all its magical corners, the ones that touch us and make us laugh, the things collected and the stories held. Throughout my career, I have always been fascinated by the people and relationships that make up a home. The life that is lived between the walls. Inspired by this passion, I decided to take all the experience and knowledge that I have gained throughout the years and go one step further, to a new dimension, an exciting and unique family thumbprint that will remain with you for years to come
