5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Book September 14, 2010
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I had been waiting for this book to be published for a long time, so I was so excited to see it on my doorstep. It's a beautiful book with absolutely stunning photographs. Lots of good decorating tips and ideas for creating a romantic, shabby-chic home. The colors are truly spectacular - pure eye candy. I only wish there had been more homes depicted -many of the same rooms are used repeatedly throughout the book. But, overall, a wonderful addition to your design library.

3.0 out of 5 stars Author a Little Mixed I[ September 26, 2010
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Although full of colorful pictures, I was very disappointed in the overall theme of the book. A lot of mixing of styles going on here, not always very effectively. I think of romantic as a little softer than the interior of the book's contents were. The front cover is misleading. If the interior of the pages looked like the front cover I would have loved it. A lot of mixing of very bright colors left me feeling that the author couldn't make up her mind quite what look she was going for. I enjoyed about a fourth of the photographs. This book was a little disappointing to me. Based on the title, I was expecting a more romantic look.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Source of Pure Eye Candy! February 9, 2011
Format:Hardcover
When I opened up the box containing my copy of 'Romantic Style' I knew right away I was going to love the book! It is chalk full of gorgeous images and bright intoxicating colors galore! Pastels, hot pinks, floral patterns, chandeliers, bouquets of cut flowers, time worn well loved antique and vintage furniture as well as more modern and contemporary styles all mixed together in some of the most beautiful photos I've seen in some time! Pure eye candy! While no book can possibly please eveyone with all of the various decorating tastes out there, I'm sure this book will be enjoyed by most. When deciding to buy a book I haven't had the opportunity to browse pre-purchase I always look up the author and photographers of the book on the internet BEFORE buying. This way I am more familiar with what lies within the book and less likely to be disappointed with my purchase when it arrives at my doorstep.
