By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cecil Hayes Art of Decorative Details: Creative Ways to Design the Home of Your Dreams (Hardcover)
Any collection strong in interior design, whether it be for an art library or for a general-interest library catering to homeowners, will relish the colorful ART OF DECORATIVE DETAILS: CREATIVE WAYS TO DESIGN THE HOME OF YOUR DREAMS. It comes from an Afro-American home designer and provides smaller lessons than her first title, focusing on the finer art of detailing and how it can make a big difference in home design qualities. From floors, windows and walls to furniture and fabric, ART OF DECORATIVE DETAILS provides plenty of insights on materials, examples of their application, and color photos to support the lessons.

Ms. Hayes gives excellent ideas and instructions suitable for the ID beginner. The photos are very inviting and warm. The drawings & measurements she provides in the appendices are easy to follow.
I await more from this creative designer.
