Customer Reviews

Beautiful and Inspiring!

From the moment I opened this book I knew I would love it! It's so full of beautiful inspiration and the writing is lovely. If you're expecting a book chalk full of projects and ideas, you won't find it here. This is more about the photography and how to integrate the Cannon Falls style into your home. I just love how it features different looks for each season and tells you why each look works. I could read and go through this book over and over again. LOVE IT!!

Beautiful!

Inspiration abounds in this book~I love how it features the same rooms, accessorized differently for the seasons. That is my favorite way to decorate~ Also, if you love old homes and restoration, this book provides inspiration for that as well. Wonderful! And the chandeliers, oohlala!

I really love it!

Maybe the best book I ever had, so beautiful layout and pictures, wonderful feelings!

Fresh/Creative Ideas for a Beautiful Old House.

Midwest of Cannon Falls (Minnesota) (...) is a company built around holiday and seasonal decorations. They produced this book to illustrate what can be done in the way of decorating a home to show its best during each of the four seasons, during many of the holidays we celebrate. Part of the magic about this book is the house used as the background for the decorations. It's a beautiful house, beautifully restored. One thing you have to thank the folk there for doing is saving this house that had been abandoned and was scheduled for demolition. They then moved the house to their location and did a great restoration job. The rest of the book is a set of delightful picture ideas. While it's unlikely you would ever duplicate it exactly, the ideas in the book are fresh and creative. Now all that you need is a nice old house like River House.

A Real Treat

I love this book! From the moment I cracked the cover and continuing through every page turn, this book did not disappoint. The setting of the restored home was the perfect showplace for the seasonal decorations. Great ideas, photos, and inspiration. By far, my favorite home decorating book.
