"All it does is tell you to buy the stuff at Pottery Barn and how to use it - like we don't already know how to use a bookcase?? Don't waste your money."

Well that's all well and fine if you're the Candice Olsen of stylish living. I know how to use a bookcase but how to arrange a variety of items on one that is both practical and visually appealing is more the mystery. I have a eclectic movie memorabilia collection as well as many dvds, cds and books. This book showed me how I could create a media enviroment to store and display my collection while keeping it organized and simple. The book also provides good and basic advice on layering textures and using colour effectively.

So if you like the Pottery Barn style and haven't reached the title of domestic god or goddess then I do recommend this book and all titles in the Pottery Barn series. =)

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Photos - an inspirational book, July 4, 2005

This review is from: Pottery Barn Storage & Display: Stylish Solutions for Organizing Your Home (Pottery Barn Design Library) (Hardcover)

I love looking at the Pottery Barn Catalog, both for the furniture and the style/inspiration that comes along with it.

This book is an extension of the catalog (some pictures are exactly from the catalog) but it adds interesting highlights, helps with color choices (such as suggesting paint chips) and gives expert tips at organizating (I found the best ones to be for closets and the laundry room.)

Obviously they promote their merchandise, but who wouldn't? It is absolutely gorgeous!

Overall, a good read with beautiful photos and interesting tidbits.
