Just Don't Look at Your Own Space After You've Seen this Book,
This review is from: Design Idea Book: Learning from Designer Showhouses (Paperback)
Full of lovely photographs and terrific ideas, this book left me looking at my own kitchen again, thinking "I know it will be a hassle, but I guess it WOULD be worth it." A must-have for anyone considering doing anything to their home.

I just came from Lowe's and found this book there for $19.97. I knew I could find a better price for the book here on amazon.com. I went to Lowe's for ideas as my wife and I are redoing my son's bedroom. Even though this book doesn't have much in the way of children's rooms, I felt this book had great pictures of all the rooms in your house and great ideas for any style. The decore and color choices were great! Very classy rooms and NOT your run of the mill "easy decorating, everyone has this country style look." I came home and went straight to the computer to purchase my copy!!
