Lots Of Great Ideas That You Never Thought Of

The ideas are creative and do-able at such low cost with stuff that you can find around the house. They are wonderful and though many people have money, why waste the money when you can do it for less? Then you can do more or save the money for something that you cant get cheaply. I think Kathleen has done a great job with the book. I have a creative mind myself and am a student of design. I have to thank Kathleen for giving me more great ideas to do around the house without spending too much money.

Decorating Dilemmas SOLVED!

I loved this book! I had so much great STUFF in my house, I didn't understand why it didn't look good but it certainly didn't. A few hours devoted to this book and a few quick passes through my house made all the difference and my friends wanted to know what decorator I hired! This book had very simple, easy to complete, ideas that I never would have thought of. Just a few changes here and there and I live in a designer's dream home! All of my friends have bought the book now (I won't give mine away! I refer to it often!) and their houses are transformed too! I recommend this book to anyone who lives in a home and wants it to look nice. This is a must-have! And what a great gift for newlyweds and anyone going out on their own!

Decorating Bible for the Budget and Idea Challenged!

This is a terrific, easy to read book with hundreds of simple to do, "why didn't I think of that?" ideas! Many of the projects can be done with things you already have around the house (especially if you have a hard time throwing things out). Kathleen Wilson's creativity is contagious - just reading her book gets your own imagination working. I often found myself not reading, but daydreaming, thinking about what I could do, and what I could use. And this was her intention - not just to copy her ideas, but to have the reader build on those to develop their own.My only dilemma is where to start, as there are so many ideas and projects that I want to try NOW (although the author says to start with organizing and reducing the clutter - a dilemma in itself!); and my house just isn't big enough to accommodate all the wonderful ideas in this book that I'd like to use. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for inspiration!

A Must Have

This is great book for those of us that are both challenged for ideas and money. What I like most is how easy the ideas are to actually do. I, like a lot of women, want my house to look nice and still reflect my personality. This book is such a great help. I always thought that decorating well would cost so much that I never really wanted to attempt it. I now have so many ideas that I can't wait to get started and I don't have to feel guilty about using money I can't really afford. The author was right, this really is the budget decorators bible.
