I think this would be better as a magazine. It just seems overpriced for looking at pictures of people's rooms. It was entertaining, just disappointing.

The photography is nice and the items are featured in a pleasing manner. My complaint with Matthew's books are that they feature too many "people pictures". (His friends and associates)I buy them for the creative ideas and I feel there is space wasted on pictures of people. Just my two cents worth...

Matthew Mead's ideas are always fresh, fun, and inspiring, and this latest publication is no exception.
Filled with gorgeous photos and lots of color, it is a treat to look at. However, it's not just eye candy, but is
also filled with pages of great ideas to put thrifty finds to use, then create stunning vignettes with those projects. It is a book I can reference again and again to give me a jolt of inspiration.
