This review is from: Design Ideas for Bathrooms (2nd edition) (Home Decorating) (Paperback)
I just bought a new home and was looking for ideas to update the bathrooms. This book has some amazing ideas for all types of tastes. However, only 3 starts because lacking fine/important detail about where a fixture/item was purchased from, what paints/finishes were used...etc. A live website that has links would also have been helpful...these omissions make the book less useful that it could have been.
