Beautiful pictures

The photos in the book are absolutely stunning! This book was released a few years ago but you couldn't tell...it looks like it was done this year. There are mainly europien castles, cottages, etc. featured and only a couple of modern homes. But I agree with the previous reviewers on that this book is truly inspirational and has great examples of combining patterns, textures, etc. together in an anusual way. The only reason I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 star is because the text could have been more informative, I felt that in some cases, the author was just stating the obvious. I find the text only somewhat helpful. Otherwise it's a very well done book! I also use it as a coffe table book and draw ideas, inspiration from it.

A pattern for inpspiring home decor

This is a gorgeous book filled with lots of inspiring ideas for your home and some projects that emulate the look of designs in the book. I keep this on my coffee table and flip through it when I need some advice about combining different patterns and textures. There are some schemes here I would never have imagined working together, but seeing them on the pages of this beautiful book gives me the courage to be bolder with color and pattern.
