Amazon.com Review
For the decorating dud, a book with lots of pictures is a godsend. Someone else has gone through the bother of choosing tone, furniture, fabric, and accessories and put them together for a cohesive look, not once but hundreds of times. You pick and choose components that seem like they could be you, if the you that you already are were a little more organized, focused, and stylish. Martha Stewart might disdain the technique, but men and women with a full life and a disjointed salon will applaud.
From Library Journal
Here are two more additions to the series designed to give the amateur interior decorator ideas and instructions on creating a more pleasant home. Window Treatments gives clear, well-illustrated instructions on projects from cafe curtains to shades and includes curtain styles not covered in other how-to-window treatment books, such as bishop sleeve curtains and painting nonfabric blinds. Living Room Decorating has fewer projects than Bedroom Decorating (LJ 1/96), but it gives an overview of decorating styles and an analysis of the details that make each style. Chapters on seating, lighting, storage, and tables give information on identifying types and quality. Both books contain a multitude of photographs that will give plenty of inspiration to the novice interior decorator. Recommended for public libraries.
