4.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful book for creating gorgeous living rooms, January 27, 2005

By	K. E. Fergusson "nifwlseirff" (Melbourne, Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a book full of beautiful ideas to enhance, declutter and decorate a living room. Jane looks at what the living room is used for and discusses various decoration themes based on the main use of the room.

Feng shui techniques are used, energy flow is explored, colour and fabric use is discussed and aromatherapy basics are introduced. Energy cleansing techniques and simple blessings are also touched on briefly, and ways of using sound and textures are also considered. Creative storage ideas and finishing touches lend a practical aspect.

Beautiful illustrations enhance this simple book, written in an easy to follow, conversational tone, making this a useful resource for designing, creating and decorating a relaxing, pratical and gorgeous family living space.
