Victoria Magazine's book on WHITE

I used to subscribe to Victoria magazine, many years ago, and I always found the photos in the magazine so inspiring & romantic!... I,thus, decided to buy this book, in honor of the magazine. I am so glad that I bought this book because this book is a condensed version of the magazine's photos that regard the color WHITE. Some people may think that WHITE is not really a color, but the photos in this book will show how the various shades of white can be used (in combination) to create a lovely decorating style.

White as a Color

This little book is full of pretty photographs and ideas for using white as a color. As with all Victoria Magazine products, beauty and atmosphere are presented as the way to inspire the reader. It is very enjoyable for one to page through looking at the photographs.

Victoria's At Home With White is the Most Beautiful Book

I never realized there were so many ways you can conceiveof using the color white.Color swatches don't do the trickthat this book delivers. It shows a whole room mostly white but with other colors to complement the decor.This is not new, but done in such aunique manner. For example, a living room is made almost twice its size visually, when opened up with white paint. I agree wholehardedly, nothing pairs together better withwhite than blue. One of the Master bedrooms proves it.Eventhe little touches of the hat boxes reflects the beauty of blueand white. The idea is to show white as a color and it does.It shows thestark drama of black and white tile.Floral arrangements are better perceived against white,witness a multi-colored bridal bouquet.Interspersed on many pages are the gorgeous white picture frames that are subtly placed throughout thebook that are finally in fashion again.I love to justlook at this book.

Just what I was looking for!

This book is full of many wonderful ideas on how to achieve your own 'white' space. The effect is fresh and romantic, and somehow soothing. The images within are simply elegant. Lovely, and highly recommended!

White is always timeless

I have gotten more out of other decorating books but for anyone that appreciates decorating with white, this book is a wonderful addition to your collection. It presents a variety of ideas on how to achieve that "bleached-beach" look to any home. I refer to it often.
