I love this book. Nancy Corzine is well know for her very upscale chic, and in the book she shares her secrets and gives lots of great advice. This book will truly help the designer inside of anyone emerge. The breakout segments such as choosing a sofa are so helpful and this sort of advice is often overlooked in other design books. Nancy Corzine is giving her own "design college" in the pages of Glamour at Home. Take this course! Buy this book.

For those who enjoy that kind of glamour associated with Hollywood or chic New York residences, this book offers insight into the design elements that create it. If you like a cosmopolitan, dressy, formal style that is somehow accessible, warm and welcoming, you'll appreciate this book. The author breaks it down room by room offering tips on everything from lamp silhouettes to sofa styles.

What's interesting about Corzine's rooms, that even though they're elegant, she's not afraid to take risks and have some fun with them. While some fit the profile of traditional elegant decor, others have whimsical touches like hanging beds in a boys room. Some of these rooms show how you can successfully combine classic style with a bit of innovative whimsy which keeps the rooms from being cliched or boring. If you love luxurious glamour in home decor that still looks contemporary, this book shows and tells you the secrets behind doing it successfully based on the author's 20 years as an interior designer and designer of furniture and fabric.

Words cannot express the beauty of Nancy Corzine's glamourous, timeless interiors! Beautifully photographed and a must have ~ even looks great as a cocktail table book.. Designs can be easily recreated without the large price tag of her furniture/ lighting line.
BEAUTIFUL!

If you like lots of beautiful images of glamorous interiors - this is for you. A lovely coffee table book.

This was a dissapointment. The rooms and Corzine's style are kind of like Shabby Chic (of the 80's if you remember), with the addition of some designer furniture and a few antiques. Nothing groundbreaking or particularily interesting or unique. Lots of white walls and sectional sofa's, if that's what you're into you will love it. I felt a bit like I did about another book called "Modern Luxury" about Richard Mishaan, both these people seem like wealthy individuals who have bought their way into the industry and call themselves "designers". I wouldn't call them that myself.
