I found this book to be well worth the cover price: it is full of rich photos and inspiring ideas. I don't purchase decorating books for the text, so if you do, this may not be the book for you. There are several different styles depicted within the book, certainly there is something for everyone. I do also recommend the Better Homes and Gardens "Garden Style" book: it has a similar feeling and again, many great ideas.

We just bought a house near the city, and we have started to decorate it, with a very limited budget. This book has helped a lot in finding new and easy to do ideas.

This book is beautiful! One reviewer wrote that this book is 'cutesy' ... but I have to strongly disagree. Many helpful tips and beautiful pictures to inspire you! I love it.

This is a gorgeous book. If you love gardening and love decorating I highly recommend it. Lovely, inspiring pictures make it worthwhile and a joy to read. I actually checked it out at my local public library before I bought it and then decided I just had to have my own copy. My husband said any book with "gardening" in the title was surely one I couldn't resist. The pictures inspire me.

This topic is a favorite of mine and suits my style, but I am disappointed in this book which, although pretty, is rather dull. The first book I saw on the subject was also called Garden Style Decorating, I believe, but it was by Better Homes and Gardens. The Better Homes and Gardens book has a fresher look and a wider variety of styles.

Garden style is my style. I love it. But this book is too cutesy and the photos show some rooms that just don't look real. I don't know if they were done in a studio or what. The best book on the subject (at least it's the one I keep going back to because I always find fresh ideas in it) is Garden Style by the Better Homes and Gardens editors. I've given that BHG Garden Style book to friends as birthday and housewarming gifts too.
