5.0 out of 5 stars Chic, family-friendly decorating advice, December 15, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Lyn Peterson's Real Life Decorating (Paperback)

I've followed Lyn Peterson's easy-going style in various decorating magazines--and found this great book also has style to spare. I've had it out on our kitchen table for a week; and everyone who wanders through the house picks it up and flips through it. Unlike most pretty-prissy picture books, this one is filled with real ideas from real homes in real life. From kitchens to curtains, the ideas are clearly-explained and practical. Throughout, Peterson's philsophy that family comes first resonates refreshingly loud and clear. She knows how to create a home that works for adults/kids/dogs and looks chic to boot.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best decorating book to buy!!!, April 7, 2001

This review is from: Lyn Peterson's Real Life Decorating (Paperback)

Lyn Peterson gives advice for REAL people, with children, with budgets,etc...I was amazed at how informative this book was, and I've read them all! I think this is a must have for anyone who has ever had a question about: How to pick the right paint color to How to incorporate old and new pieces. Her advice is endless and really works! After reading it myself, I purchased 5 copies to give as housewarming gifts. So far I've given away 2, and my girlfriends said it was their favorite and most used gift by far.

I love this entertaining book. The book is practical, useful, and an excellent resource for the home decorating enthusiast. Ms. Peterson has finally written something that single people, married people, people with children, and grandchildren can completely identify with. The chapter discussing the placement of television in a family room, and the chapters on lighting and window treatments are very helpful. Now I buy the book as gifts for all my friends!
