5.0 out of 5 stars Very Informative, March 12, 2002

By	"camillecl" (New York, New York USA) - See all my reviews

As an ultra-beginner, I learned a lot from this book and was inspired by the pictures. I have made three different style window treatments based on what this book taught me. The instructions are easy to follow and the photos are beautiful. I have bought other more "technical" books on window treatments but I think this one has more up-to-date styles, and simpler instructions and everything I have done has turned out fabulously.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, May 2, 2001

By	VJ (Michigan) - See all my reviews

After purchasing this book, I was dissapointed to see very few pictures and ideas for everyday homes. I was expecting to find basic window covering ideas for drapes and valances. This book was more on the artsy side as opposed to the practicle decorating side.
