Customer Reviews

Susie Coelho's Everyday Styling was effective immediately!

Even before bringing my copy of Everyday Styling back from the book-signing, I had mentally redecorated my living room. Uncannily, when I arrived home, my thirteen year old son was already rearranging the furniture the way I envisioned. (This without a word from me) Now that's a powerful book! It's also a delightful book to look at: cheerful, colorful and uplifting. The book has a great personality--inviting, encouraging, fun-loving and respectful of the reader's pocketbook! The book is the perfect housewarming or birthday gift. I'm looking forward to using many ideas from the book. The suggestions don't require much effort. It's all about having fun expressing your own sense of aesthetics and style--not seriously or self consciously, but in a light hearted manner.

Great ideas for decorating on a budget!

I was thrilled with this book...unlike the Martha Stewart-types who can tell you how to make a wreath if you spend $100, Susie emphasizes finding articles in your own home and how to use them creatively. I was surprised and pleased that the emphasis in the book was not on spending a lot, but on creating a personal style, and how to create a "style file" to help you along the way. Her style ideas are clean, colorful, and pretty easy! I look forward to her next book.

Redecorating made EASY!

I just loved this book. It completely banished this impression I've had that it takes loads of money and time to have a nicely decorated home, or studio apartment!!!! I have a LOT of stuff boxed up that I thought I'd never use again and was considering tossing. Now that I've been enlightened I have a plethora of options-- not even at a store, but right in my own closet! And it's not heavy reading at all. It's simple and to the point! Thank you very much Susie for opening my eyes!

What a wonderful, helpful book!

I got tons of great decorating ideas from this book. I like the way she encourages people to use what they have instead of spending lots of money getting all new things. This book shows you how anyone can make their home special on any budget. The pictures were beautiful and the recipes were a nice touch.

Creative & Inexpensive tips for an Affluent Lifestyle!

Susie's creative tips can transform the most ordinary home, garden, or tea party into a regal experience. And amazingly, she makes it look like fun! The book is replete with excellent pictures that makes learning and using her tips practical for even the most sytle-challenged among us, and her super-model good looks does not detract, but actually enhances the reader's comprehension and usability of her ideas. A must-have book for styling refererence, and one that I will refer to again and again.
