Nice ideas, but too expensive,
By A Customer
This review is from: Martha Stewart's New Old House: Restoration, Renovation, Decoration, Landscaping (Hardcover)
This book is to home improvement, what a Rolls Royce is to the automobile world. Everything is done in grand style, for instance, the fences in her gardens are all hand made. She uses genuine copperleaf to spruce up a flight of stairs that no one will ever see, due to location. This book is big, literally, bold, beautiful and luscious in every way, except practicality

This review is from: Martha Stewart's New Old House: Restoration, Renovation, Decoration, Landscaping (Hardcover)
As a recent purchaser of an old house, I really enjoyed the first few sections of this book and thought it might really be helpful for our remodel. However, it quickly turned into a big spend-fest, as other reviews have mentioned. Get this only for the nice pictures and commentary, certainly don't expect advice on how to do anything yourself.

This review is from: Martha Stewart's New Old House: Restoration, Renovation, Decoration, Landscaping (Hardcover)
On one hand I liked seeing step by step how an old run down house was saved and restored (be kind to your handy man and all contractors-- they're heroes) but I really didn't like how Martha kept reminding the readers in what seemed to be every chapter how tacky the previous owner was. That didn't seem particularly kind and it was not necessary to the success of the book.
