This review is from: Decorating your Rental Space: A Do-It-Yourself Guide for Apartment - Home - Studio - Dorm (Paperback)
Unless you're a 19 year old living alone for the first time, this book won't help you. First of all, it's tiny (like a skinny flip book)....it took me about 45 minutes to read cover to cover. $25.00 is way too much money for a something the size of of a brochure. Secondly almost everything in it is common sense or something you could discover by reading the labels on things at Sears. There were no useful suggestions on style or picking out furninshings and only a few real guidelines for dealing with all the little things that you can't change in a rental unit, like paint, hanging pictures, ugly carpet etc.
If you don't know the names of common things designed to go into your house, like "curtain rod" or "drapery" you might want to get this book as a very basic primer on where to begin. Otherwise this book is a complete waste of time.

This review is from: Decorating your Rental Space: A Do-It-Yourself Guide for Apartment - Home - Studio - Dorm (Paperback)
This book worked for me. I must say it is perfect for renters who don't know where to begin with a decorating project. Myself being one of those people, I was able to read through the book quickly (which I am thankful for...who needs another college book to read)and impliment the suggestions. Since the book was short and to the point, I actually took the time to DO what it said. Even though this book lacked colorful pictures ( it refers you to their Rental Decorating Digest website), I felt the instructions where far more than enough to guide me through my decorating project. My practical application: I drew a floor plan, arranged my furniture, added modern style, matched colors (using a pillow) & chose window treatments...the best part, I didn't spend a fortune. That alone is a thumbs up for me.
