Complete Home Style Book

This is the best design book I've ever looked at. All of the pictures and diagrams make it so wonderful. With all those pictures no one would have a hard time tring to find a perfect design to fit there room. I would recommend this book to anyone who needs some ideas for a room. I just love it!

It is amazing how you can change a space in your home when you have a picture of exactly what you want to recreate. Your home is the place where you can take full control of your surroundings. We bought our first house last year and I really have had trouble figuring out what exactly I want to do in certain rooms. I found Pier 1 to be a favorite hang out, but seriously, you have to figure out what your personal style is going to be and this book does help you see what appeals to you. I'm definitely in love with the Antique tub in a nostalgic bathroom complete with a fireplace, but it aint gonna happen! I also have visions of a grand piano and built in bookshelves and a fireplace and a Persian Style bedroom complete with plenty of pillows for the cats to lounge around on. For cooks, you will enjoy seeing Elizabeth David's comfy kitchen complete with a cat. In fact the kitchen section in this book is a real highlight. There is a family kitchen plan on pg. 64 which is just spectacular. The chapters include: Kitchen - the best part of this book! Living Area - Cushy couches, please. Bedroom - Clean Lines and open spaces Bathroom - Whirlpool baths with a view and some amazing children's bathroom ideas. Home Office - The second best part of this book! Ancillary Space - A utility room plan to die for! One-Room Living - Reminds me of my first studio apartment!!! Planning Details - A section on worksurfaces in the kitchen is useful. Great for Inspiration BEFORE you build your own home or for getting ideas on how you want to remodel areas of your home. Also useful for planning how you are going to fill up that big empty room. Modern Designs, Creative Design Solutions, Dual-Purpose Offices and Small-Space Bathrooms are also a feature. Yes, Modern Style about says it. ~The Rebecca Review

It's all in the details!

Although no book can be all inclusive, this comes close. Diagrams and photographs are plentiful in this book. From kitchens to wall coverings, everthing is explained in depth. This book even contains diagrams on how low your bedside table should be compared to your bed! We are talking details! This book explains things that other books have taken for granted! Enjoy!
