This review is from: Shelter Now: Creative Ideas for Today's Home (Paperback)

If you're interest in decorating and design leans toward funky, stylish, modern interiors, this is a book for you. I had some ideas circulating in back of my mind about the environment I'd like to create, but needed some help in putting it into motion. This book did help. I find the colors used in a funky interior cheerful and invigorating. You can find new ideas for old, uninteresting pieces of furniture just by painting them enlivening colors, adding casters, and saving yourself money in the long run. I look forward to more from this author!
