5.0 out of 5 stars What and easy read and helpful hints! , February 24, 2008

By	Joyce A. Dorn (Columbus, OH United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am in the process of having a new home built for me - I haven't a clue what I am doing but this book helped. The book is written with a ease that the do-it yourself decorator will understand the basics and the pictures help you to see this in your own way for your own style. I have found that my decorating style is Cottage design and I now know what I have been doing will always be with me and now I can begin to pick up pieces for my new home and it will work - for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent advice, February 6, 2009

By	R. Laurent (Okinawa Japan) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is the best decorating book I have read. Although I confess to being an HTV addict, the emphasis on trendy design on that network sometimes gets old; this book is refreshing because it is filled with practical advice about how to make your home suit your own tastes. I found the photos less inspiring than photos in most home decor books because most of the rooms shown are too formal or too country for me. However, the excellent text more than makes up for that. I borrowed this book from the library but now I am going to buy a copy.
