Amazon.com Review

Home Design from the Inside Out takes an unusual approach to home design. Author Robin Lennon does away with the standard pictures of lavish interiors and exteriors for you to duplicate in your home, and instead focuses on determining which designs, arrangements, colors, and decorative details will work best for your home, regardless of current trends. Lennon shows you how to make your house feel like home by offering a unique, self-empowering look at home design that places the greatest importance on your tastes, needs, and preferences.

5.0 out of 5 stars artistic and instructive, February 9, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Home Design from the Inside Out: Feng Shui, Color Therapy and Self-Awareness (Paperback)

Finally not just another book about what you should do with your looks or your life. For me, Home Design From the Inside Out made sense of everyday life. Not extravagent lifestyles, or impossible metaphysical demands, but real life, creative, processes which I can practice. Robin Lennon doesn't simplify or reduce these time honored ideas, but uniquely invisions them for how we live today. I highly recomend this book for artists and designers and for anyone looking to revitalize their life design.

5.0 out of 5 stars Find a "home for your heart" with the help of Robin Lennon!, June 4, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Home Design from the Inside Out: Feng Shui, Color Therapy and Self-Awareness (Paperback)

Robin Lennon must be a very put-together woman! Her advice goes far beyond where to place furniture and which colors go well with others. After reading HOME DESIGN FROM THE INSIDE OUT I found the courage to throw away ancient artifacts from my youth and teenage years that should have gone in the trash long ago! I never thought a book about interior design would be so helpful in my personal life. I learned how to "create a home for my heart", and express my soul and creativity through my surroundings. Open ANY page, and you'll find yourself shaking your head "yes", she's right, I just needed some one to put it to me like that. It's only $14.95, and nearly 300 pages long! Forget that new CD and BUY THIS BOOK
