"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. =)

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.

good ideas for storage and disply for every room, had ideas i had not thought of.

I have really enjoyed this book. The colorful pictures are gorgeous! With help from this book I have created more space in my home. I have been able to store the items I use most in a way that looks beautiful and I have easy access to those items. The books also look great displayed in my living room! My company frequently asks if they can take a look at the book!

I have always enjoyed Pottery Barn books and this one is deffinately one I enjoy. There are simple, but elegant ways of organizing and displaying objects that give your home a elegant yet comfortable feel. There are ideas that I would not have thought about without this book. absolutely Love it.

Although this book is put out by Pottery Barn and probably every single page contains photos of items sold at Pottery Barn, the fact is that every page does offer innovative storage-solution ideas. I particularly liked the ideas for under-the-stairs and entryways and laundry rooms. Books such as this one are inspiring because you can look at a photo and immediately accept, adapt, or reject it for your own living quarters. It's the "adapting" part that's most fun -- using something you saw but changing it to meet your own needs or whims. This book is definitely worth consulting.

This book was for my wife. It is excellent, and we got it with an excellent price.

The latest entry into the outstanding Oxmoor House "Pottery Barn" series, Pottery Barn Storage & Display specifically focuses on how ideas, tips and techniques for keeping, showcasing, and storing everyday necessities just where they are handiest, most accessible, and aesthetically pleasing through creative solutions and practical tips for storage and display in whatever room (entryway, kitchen, bedroom, living room, utility area, laundry, closet, etc) is under consideration. Enhanced with the showcase photography of Stefano Massei, the informed and informative text is the collaboration of freelance writer Martha Fay, media personality and home design expert Carol Endler Sterbenz, and professional interior designer Genevieve A. Sterbenz.

I don't know why anyone would buy this book when you can get the catalog for free. 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.
