5.0 out of 5 stars beautiful book with amazing ideas
The ideas offered in this book are unique and innovative, the pictures are phenomenal, and there's even a resource guide in the back to help you find materials. Unlike another reviewer, I don't believe you have to be super wealthy at all to incorporate them. If you hire a designer, yes, you'll pay more, but if you simply show the photos to a skilled craftsman, it's...

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing book
I bought this book looking for decorative concrete ideas. It has very little material on that subject and the ideas are tailored for ultra expensive houses making this book worthless for the average homeowner. Anyone who can afford the ideas in this book would have an interior decorator and thus wouldn't need it. I am returning the book

5.0 out of 5 stars beautiful book with amazing ideas, July 17, 2011
This review is from: Design Ideas for Decorative Concrete and Stone (Paperback)
The ideas offered in this book are unique and innovative, the pictures are phenomenal, and there's even a resource guide in the back to help you find materials. Unlike another reviewer, I don't believe you have to be super wealthy at all to incorporate them. If you hire a designer, yes, you'll pay more, but if you simply show the photos to a skilled craftsman, it's highly likely that most of the ideas in this book can be reproduced at a reasonable cost. With a little imagination and some creativity, alternate materials can even be used to lower the costs even more. I found this book to be not only inspiring but invaluable when trying to come up with ideas for a long overdue remodel of our decrepit kitchen and bath. Love it.
