HGTV Before & After Decorating

Rating:
Summary: Stylish, realistic, helpful
Review: This book shows rooms and ideas that are stylish, realistic, and helpful all at the same time. I'll be using this book as a room makeovers guide for years. Our first project inspired by the book is a kitchen facelift. After seeing a stunning kitchen redo in this book, I finally convinced my husband that we can paint our kitchen cabinets. Great book. Thank you.

Summary: Not Very Helpful
Review: This is a beautiful book of great pictures -- of other peoople's homes. Not a lot of practical ideas for decorating principles which you can adapt to your own space. Pictures, although pretty, were almost overwhelming. Had much more luck with Lauri Ward's "Use What You Have Decorating."
