Customer Reviews

Wonderful Book

This book was a breath of fresh air. I read it cover to cover, then went through it again. You will get furniture layouts, decorating ideas, and information boxes that tackle everything from townhouses to home offices. A pleasure to read and a wonderful reference book.

Clear and affordable Decorating Advice

This was a down to earth decorating book with marvelous pictures. Clearly, the book did not suggest, like many others, that one start from scratch. The colour combinations gave one pause for thought - out of the safe zone on occasions - but marvelous. I have used some of the furniture layout suggestions and the colour combinations of fabrics were especially helpful.I have a previous book, Dream Rooms for Real People by Carol and it was very good - but this new book is excellent!Helen Howes

Great Overall Decorating Book!

This book covers decorating techniques that can be applied to every lifestyle. With terrific before and after photos, the writer brings you right into the story behind the decorating. I think this book is a must-have for the decorating enthusiast. There just aren't high quality books on decorating out there like this one.

Great Illustrations - Different Styles

Very nicely done with before and after pictures. Decorating shown in all decorating styles from provential to rustic. Excellent decorating ideas and suggestions. Add it to my good book list.
