I love decorating books and have a slew of them, but this is one of the best. It contains page after page of fabulous photos, and is an inspiration for anyone who wants to brighten up a home with ideas from the garden. For browsing on a gloomy, rainy evening, this book can't be beat. It is also a superb coffee-table book that your guests will enjoy as much as you do. Highly recommended!

Page after page of stunning photographs of beautiful environments that real people can aspire too! My brain wanted to explode trying to figure out all the different things I wanted to incorporate into my home using this luscious book's examples. Its just a feast for the imagination.

I bought my first copy of this book for a family member who was so excited about Garden Style that she asked me to leave so that she could sit down and spend time alone with it. It's beautifully photographed and full of ways to bring the outdoors inside. (My favorite idea? A new birdbath used to hold magazines on a porch.) There's even a guide to garden shops around the country-something I plan to copy and take along as we travel. I'll be buying more copies for Mother's Day and birthday gifts.

This is my favorite decorating book this year. In fact, I can't stop going back to it for ideas! What can I say? It's me!

This book is filled with ideas to help you decorate in true garden style. It contains ideas for your porch or patio and every room in the home. The rooms have beautiful color schemes, window treatments, and other ideas for every home.

I wasn't sure that this was what I was looking for on my first pass through. It didn't take long on my second time around to become thoroughly absorbed in each room. The photography is great. I've already been inspired and thats just from looking at the pictures!

This inspiring book is a wonderful guide for incorporating the pleasure of nature and garden accessories into a welcoming home decor. The author provides a wide range of possibilities to blend with the wishes and desires of any home decorator. Within the pages of this beautiful resource, the reader will uncover whimsical, country, cottage, mountain, old world, British Colonial, and a bounty of other styles that are adapted to the nature lovers vision of tranquility or fun. The interiors of the vistas that have been photographed are each the product of real people who have opened their homes to the author. The author also includes a visual display of home gardening boutiques and shops from around the country which present their lovely wares to assist this enchanting approach to home decorating.

Book was not new as advertised. It had been reglued with pages being impacted and some are unreadable due to the regluing/rebinding.

This has quickly become one of my favorites. Every vignette has ideas popping off the page. I'm a designer in a small design firm and we have used it with clients. The other designers got excited about it as I did. Clinets are asking us to bring the outdoors in and indoors out. This book is loaded with ideas that are practical and don't break the pocketbook.

This book has inspired me to redo many of our rooms usingsimple and easy to find garden-style accessories. ............... the fabulous sequel to this book, Garden Style Projects. I may need a new house now so I can keep using all these ideas.
