1.0 out of 5 stars A complete duplication, November 9, 2005

By	G. Koerber (BALTIMORE, MD United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was very excited to receive this book in the mail, as I am a huge Pottery Barn fan. I have all of the other books in the series as well as a lot of their furniture & accessories in my own home. I was really disappointed to see that this book is merely a compilation of the other books in their library series. If you are looking for something new, this isn't it, but if you don't have the others, it's a wonderful reference with lovely pictures.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very creative..., January 20, 2006

By	C. Morgan (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I disagree with the previous reviewer who felt this book best suited to PB furniture owners. I own not one stick of their line - but I found the book to be full of creative, interesting and usable ideas for the new home I am in the process of building. I have not purchased any other PB books so the duplication issue doesn't apply for me. My taste is a little more traditional, a little less casual...but the clean lines, simple but dramatic accessories, the overall aesthetic ...these all work for me. The lessons here can be adapted easily to a range of styles.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, July 3, 2006

By	K. Gorman "M's Mommy" (IL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Very informational and has a lot of pictures. I wish I would have bought this one before purchasing two seperate titles, because this one includes them.
