WHAT A MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT FROM ONE WHO IS SUPPOSE TO BE A GOOD DESIGNER...IT IS OBVIOUS NINA CAMPBELL IS TRYING TO DRUM UP NEW CLIENTS AND BUSINESS WITH AN EYE TOWARDS THAT 60'S AND 70'S "stuff". SHE IS FOLLOWING THE TREND RIGHT AT THE MOMENT HOPING TO CAPITALIZE ON THE RETRO MOVEMENT.....SHE SHOULD STICK TO WHAT SHE IS KNOWN FOR...

THIS BOOK IS NOT A GOOD REFLECTION OF HER TASTE OR ABILITY.........TOO BAD..

I WOULD RECOMMEND TO SAVE YOUR MONEY AND NOT BUY THIS BOOK...IF YOU WANT TO SEE IT GO TO THE LIBRARY OR THE LOCAL BORDERS AND LOOK....

The book is filled with practical ideas for highend decorating using the best quality items. The illustrations are excellent and really do help point out the concepts trying to be taught. With time and effort the look can be achieved. I like that it moves us away form the HGTV look of beige and minimalism.

BEAUTIFUL COFFEE TABLE BOOK AND FULL OF IDEAS FORM A WELL KNOWN INTERIOR DESIGNER.I GOT MY MONEY'S WORTH FOR SURE BEAUTIFUL HARD BOUND COVER A WEALTH OF UP TO DATE DESIGNER'S TOUCH INFO

This book rates so well with me because Nina details the why of her decisions rather than just being a source for pretty pictures. The actual designs of the spaces are excellent - and gives you a lot to consider when planning your interiors. The decorative ideas are good too - and very adaptable to a range of situations and price points.

I think the book was way below my expectations and I feel very unhappy for purchasing it!

I am a big fan of Nina Campbell and her updated english look. She injects glamour, sophistication as well as unexpected wit into her interiors. The photos are beautiful and the writing in the book very easy to read with lots of practical tips so you can emulate her fabulous style.
