I AM AN ASID INTERIOR DESIGNER LOCATED IN AUSTIN TEXAS. I HAVE WON 8 DESIGN AWARDS HERE IN OUR STATE. THIS BOOK IS INCREDIBLY USEFUL AS A TOOL WHEN I AM IN CLIENT MEETINGS TRYING TO CONVEY AN IDEA IN MY MIND TO MY CLIENT. IT MAKES IT SO MUCH EASIER FOR THEM TO UNDERSTAND THE DESIGN CONCEPT . IT'S BROKEN DOWN BY STYLES OF WINDOW TREATMENTS AND VERY USER FREINDLY. IT IS A GREAT TOOL AS IT IS CLOSE UP PHOTOS TO DISCUSS DETAILS. THE STYLES ARE CALLED OUT WHICH ARE UNIVERSAL, SO THE CLIENT KNOWS WHAT MY WINDOW TREATMENT COMPANY IS TALKING ABOUT. PS. ALL MY CLIENTS END UP KEEPING THE COPY I AM WORKING WITH FOR THEM. I CAN'T SAY NO.

I extremely liked this book especially the pictures. As we decorate our home I can show my husband or contractors an idea of what I am looking for. This book really delivers thanks!

As a window treatment designer this book shows every option (almost!!) that a homeowner could do for there home

I absolutely love this book! It offers a wealth of information and suggestions, plus lots of beautiful photos. I especially like the fact that ideas for windows, walls, ceilings and floors are all contained in one comprehensive book. How much more convenient than having to buy several different books! When the book arrived I began to have what I thought would be a brief glance, but instead found myself spending ages looking through the book - reluctant to put it down! I am so glad I came across "The Complete Home Decorating Book", because it is filled with great ideas - all presented in a very attractive manner. I know it is a resource I will use over and over. Highly recommended! For anyone particularly interested in window treatment ideas, I also highly recommend "The Window Decorating Book" (Kathleen Stoehr & Charles T. Randall), which goes into even more depth regarding just about every window treatment you could ever imagine ..... and then some!

I gave this to my sister-in-law for her new house. She said she loved it and wanted to use the book to improve her house. As a gift, it went over very well.

This book is filled with great ideas for design ideas and window treatments (what we initially bought it for). The surprises for me were the number of ideas for storage which were inspired by the photos.

Yes, timeless and elegant styles packed full in this lovely book! VERY usable solutions to many interior decorating and designing dilemas. I am taken back at the timelessness! There are many interior design books that "expire" by their yearly decor styles. Not with this lovely looker! You will be able to go back and look at something in this book two or five years from now and be able to apply it to the current period and styles. That, to me, shows how much wisdom and talent is shared through the pages of The Complete Home Decorating Idea Book!

I am a retired teacher who loves to decorate. This purchase was inexpensive and I received it in a very short time. It is a very helpful book. My first time to purchase books like this on line, but certainly not my last. Thanks.

If you are looking for a great book of ideas, this book is it!!! I love everything this author writes. She has a way of making things simple. I bought a set for my daughter for Christmas. She loves decorating. The shipping time was fabulous, almost jaw dropping. I will be looking for more books by this author. !!!AAA+

When I received this book and cracked it open for the first time, I was disappointed. However, once I had time to sit down and really see what a great resource it is I was delighted. It is not an instruction manual. Rather it is a treasury of ideas and inspiration without unnecessary words. If you are looking for a book that will instruct you in the basic principles and elements of design, this is not the book for you. But as a resource and as a communication tool it shines. I am a certified Residential Planner and I see this book as a wonderful way to communicate concepts to clients...as they say: "a picture is worth a thousand words".
