This is my first Amazon book review, but I felt compelled to write it. This book is beautiful, gorgeous even. I am still glad to have purchased the book...BUT for anyone who wishes to replicate the ideas in the book in your home, I found the book lacking in information on the sources of products. So if you love the accessories and would like to purchase them, you have nowhere to turn to. A listing ala Martha Stewart resources would have made me give this book 5 stars. But I am frustrated that I can't find out where to get some of the items used in the book!

I should first start off with telling you. "I have never bought a book on AMAZON.COM, until now"!
Finally, a book that you really would put on your coffee table, and have friends pick up and chat about! I learned so much from this book! Just how a little candle put anywhere can make a HUGE difference. It explains all kind of ways to accent your home....and have people talking about it for days! Whoever would have thought. To use candles the way this book has explained and shown, and it be so simple and stunning!! I applaude the author, as well as the photographer. For creating a book, that will help so many people, such as myself. Learn how to make your home fill warm, inviteing, and beautiful! Thanks again... For this great addition to my home!

JT Fry has taken the every-day items we have around our homes and transformed them into warm conversation pieces. I find that his suggestions jog my own creativity so that my mind is soon a'buzzin with decorating ideas. This "must-have" publication also makes a perfect gift because no matter what your friends' taste, they can relate to its contents.

This book is gorgeous! It is well written with easy to follow suggestions, and beautiful photographs! John Terrell Fry's sense of taste and style is difinitive. His eye for line and balance is unsurpassed, as is his innate ability to create warmth and luxury with very little effort! A great gift, a great book!

This is an absolutely beautiful book. I have enjoyed looking at it over and over again, and it has given me some wonderful ideas for decorating. John Terrell Fry is ever so clever and creative and Nancy Nolan is an unbelievably talented photographer! Makes a great Christmas Gift for anyone on your list!

this book is one of my favorites. i pick it up again and again to get new ideas.

This is really nice book. Some of the ideas are a bit too much for my taste, but it doesn't matter. The point is, that many ways of decorating with candles are explored and the reader comes away with a greater understanding of the possibilities-of which there are many. Truly inspiring. I loved the last one the best-definitely recommend.

JT Fry is a legend in home decorating and design. His book reflects his definitive sense of style, and his innate sensibilities as regards line and balance. The Candlelit Home is filled with gorgeous pictures, how to's, and real-life usable techniques that will enable the reader to develop their own sense of style!

"The Candlelit Home" will make a perfect addition to any home,especially to those of us who love candles and are always looking for new and exciting ways in which we can use them. Divided into the 4 seasons, everyone will be able to use these ideas to brighten up their own home throughout the year. The pictures alone are enough to make you want to own this book. After reading through and learning many new ideas, I can hardly wait to purchase more candles for my very own Candlelit Home.

Hope you can find this book if you are interested because it is a gem. I love to sit down and just relax with this book and a cup of coffee. It is such a beautiful book and so many great ideas. It is in excellent condition.
