5.0 out of 5 stars Packed with ideas for every budget and taste, October 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Beautiful Home on a Budget (Paperback)

This is a wonderful little book that's packed with great ideas that won't break your budget. The authors suggest using what you have and list good places to find bargains. But they also help you re-think a room and get clear on your tastes before you start. Unlike most decorating magazines and books, this one doesn't leave you feeling poor and envious - it cheers you on and encourages you, even if you have very little money to spend.

BTW, I have no connection to these authors - perhaps the authors put my review on their website. I haven't been to the site.

5.0 out of 5 stars Filled with great ideas, March 4, 2008

This review is from: Beautiful Home on a Budget (Paperback)

This little book is not only packed with good ideas but it is filled with beautiful illustrations on each page.

It would be a very nice book to put in a basket for a bridal shower or to add to a teenage girl's hopechest.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beware the previous reviewer!, March 14, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Beautiful Home on a Budget (Paperback)

Take the previous review with a grain of salt- the woman advertises this book on her interior decorating web site and most probably gets a percentage from each sale. She has the same review, word for word, on her web site.

I haven't read the book, so I can't rate it, but I thought those who would be influenced to buy the book based on reading that review should know that the reviewer is not simply "a reader", but someone who may stand to profit if the book sells.
