This review is from: Simply SenseSational® Decorating (Hardcover)

Simply SenseSational Decorating provides very pratical information on decorating basics. It moves you from an empty room (or blank canvas as Willits describes) to a creative, personalized and progessive sensational room. Throughout the book, Willits shares her own decorating secrets, encourages the reader to envision each room, set a basic budget, and patiently turn your decorating dreams into reality. As a new homeowner, I enjoyed this book and RECOMMEND it for those taking on the challenge of turning a house into a home. Although it does not extensively cover each of the five senses as in the first book, this book has a FRESH perspective and provides a start to finish game plan for ordinary folks who love to decorate. It covers all the bases - including floors, walls, furniture, and accessories.

Simply, the book is: practical, conversational, thoughtful, and beautiful.

This review is from: Simply SenseSational® Decorating (Hardcover)

I have to say that I was a little disappointed with this book. Alot of the ideas have been shared before (but keep in mind that this is an older book). The author does have some good ideas. I guess I was really looking for a different type of book.
