This budget decorating book is pretty adequate with down to earth tips that add style and flair on a budget. The photos were good and detailed. Some of the ideas were a bit too cutesy for my taste but I did try a couple of ideas like the tissue paper tabletop and the potporri in the plants. I found the book on the bargain rack and it was a good addition to my decorating library for the price.

I like making things, so I enjoyed getting my hands on this home projects book. Most of the things are for the budget concious, but that covers many people! Some of the projects could be adapted to decorating the classroom or for little hands. I particularly like the tissue paper tabletop, and her ideas for decorating lamps are very similar to some very expensive ones I have seen in pricey shops. The author does some interesting things with paint effects, wreaths, pots, napkin rings,mirrors, curtains, and candles. An okay addition to your decorating library.

This book is fabulous!! The ideas are so great, and the directions so simple. While looking through the book I even added some of my own ideas, to make her ideas mine and yielded some great results. The best thing about this book is that everything can be made for a fraction of the cost of retail and you are guarenteed to suceed with her directions. Great book at a great price and almost every idea in the book is wonderful. Highlites of the book include the seashell lights and tea lights along with the curtains and no sew pillows. I wish I could personally thank ms Dimmick for making a book that lives up to its name!
