5.0 out of 5 stars Simply one of the best authors on the subject., March 16, 2000

By	Nurse in NY "nurse-ny" (NY United States) - See all my reviews

Ms. Wilhide has written yet another wonderful book on contemporary decor. Her style is eloquent, simple and beautifully stated. The photography is wonderful and the items pictured are not beyond the reach of the average person. I came away with a much broader knowledge on the topic, full of ideas, and very importantly-how to put it together. If you enjoyed this book, I would suggest Ms. Wilhide's "Lighting: A Design Sourcebook". My next purchase from Amazon will surely be a book by or co-authored by this author!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favorite decorating books, March 2, 2000

By A Customer

This is one of the better coffee table decorating books I own. The photos are superb and the book gives in depth descriptions of material choices for floorings, wall coverings, and windows. It is both a beautiful book and a useful reference.

By	secrethalo (United States) - See all my reviews

A book I turn to for ideas again and again, Contemporary Decorating is a gem. This is truly a classic in this genre. As for Elizabeth Wilhide, I own several of her books. You will not be dissapointed!
