From Library Journal
In this follow-up to Use What You HaveR Decorating, Ward gives more advice as well as a reiteration of her ten decorating principles. The helpful-hints format is punctuated with real-life examples of the success of Ward's decorating approach from her clients as well as from guests to her web site. The lack of "before and after" photographs, which appeared in her previous book, is a disappointment, since they illustrated her ideas so well. A list of resources for products mentioned in the text concludes the book. For its wealth of practical decorating advice, this book is highly recommended for any size public library.
