I have two "Creative Homeowner" books and they have both proved useless in helping me design my remodels. I am an advanced DIY'er and I need the kind of information Taunton includes in their books. Not just a glossy photo of a finished room, but design trade-offs, how-to's, material options, etc.

These books should be called "Wealthy Homeowner," because they just provide glossy photos for the very rich to show their interior designers and architects.
