Have fun, be yourself, dream Baroque (or is that "bark?!"),
By A Customer
This review is from: Tracy Porter's Dreams from Home (Hardcover)
Are you a decorating addict, collecting books on decorating, stashing them with your horde of ribbons from past gifts, little trinkets left over from craft projects, and snips of favorite rooms from those shelter magazines? Don't bother buying any more books--Tracy Porter will show you what to do with all your precious mementoes, and offers you the freedom to do EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT WITH THEM. Unlike Shabby Chic guru Rachel, or major pain Martha, Tracy says YOU are in charge. Like chartreuse and red velvet? Go for it. After reading her book, you'll be dying to throw parties for little foo foo bunnies and pulling all your treasures out of those boxes and putting them out to admire. If I could get Tracy to come play at MY house, I'd be the happiest person ever. This book will NEVER wind up on a bookshelf; I keep referring to it far to often to not have it at my fingertips!! Buy it, love it, and go for some heavy-duty, grab-your-honey romantic Baroque!!

Tracy Porter is having it all and in her own way!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Tracy Porter's Dreams from Home (Hardcover)
Finally, a visually stimulating and inspiring book that is fun to read. Everyone I've given this book to has enjoyed reading it cover to cover. How refreshing to see a designer that doesn't just rehash the same old traditional style but instead allows her style to evolve. Tracy Porter doesn't try to set some unattainable standard for how one should live, instead she encourages you to "try on" everything you love. Mixing passions with personal style is what it's all about. I found Tracy Porter to be a young and daring spirit and an inspiration for more than decorating my home. Her self made choices of choosing travel over college, moving to the middle of nowhere (Princeton, Wisconsin), starting a business in a chicken coop days after getting married and now running an international design company from somewhere other than NY or LA, makes me think this one is in control of her destiny. She is definitely finding a way to have it all and in her own way and unlike so many other designers, she's not a snob. If you weren't already longing for life at peace in the country, you will be now!

It's a dream even for a French woman,

This review is from: Tracy Porter's Dreams from Home (Hardcover)
I absolutely loved this book in spite of the fact I'm French and I sometimes must search words I don't understand in the dictionnary. Tracy Porter's ideas are incredible and a little crazy, but as I'm an artist and a designer too, I think I'm almost as crazy as she is, but it's very pleasant to find someone who go further in the crazyness. Her joy of life brought me a lot, at a time I had troubles in my inspiration, because of family problems, political difficulties (I love USA and it's not well seen in France these times). I already wanted to move to USA before but by seeing all her funny and sympathitic animals, it convinced me more. People in Paris have lost their fantasy, I think. Suddenly, I thought, I'm not alone... Well, it's a book about love. Everything in it is about love and it makes us feel so good. Thanks Tracy. Yael from Paris
