Customer Reviews

BUY this book!

If you have any quetitons about interior decorating, this book will give you the answers. Some of the pictures seem a little outdated, but all in all it's a great book. There are wonderful examples and explanations of the "technical" part of decorating. I'm very pleased to have this book in my personal library and will refer to it often.

Pure inspiration

I tell you this is one of the best books about interior design I've ever seen! Just grab it and be inspired of all the ideas!

Full of Information, Tips & Color Photos

I cannot recommend this book highly enough for anyone who intends to decorate or remodel their home. As the slipcase states, it is an unrivaled visual sourcebook with almost 1,000 color photos and illustrations.It is not just full of prety pictures of someone else's house decorated by experts, but full of projects you can do yourself as you are led through the steps, details and directories of where you can obtain the materials.I've had this book since it came out and have shown it to many friends who have gone out and bought their own copies. An indespensible book for anyonew thinking of undertaking a project themselves, or to afford them the ideas and knowledge to have others do the work for them.

So good I bought 2 for friends with new homes.

This is the most informative decorating book I've come across. It tells you how to do and make everything you could possibly need for your home with easy to follow instructions. It's inspirational!

Great Decorator's Book!

Wonderful pictures, ideas and how-to directions! Has history behind some decorating trends, plus ideas for every room. Very classic, fashionable, high quality suggestions! I am a huge Martha Stewart fan, and after reading all of her books, this is a great addition (even for the beginner)!
