White on White: Creating Elegant Rooms With Classic Whites

Rating:
Summary: COOL WHITE ROOMS INVITE PEACE
Review: I really enjoyed this book. It is the right size and length for a decorating book and is more diverse than other all "white" decorating books I have read in the past. The styles range from classic to contemporary with a little flea market chic thrown in...

Summary: A Pretty Picture Book
Review: If you're looking for great decorating ideas, this is a pretty nice book, BUT, it also has pictures of flowers and food, so it's not wall-to-wall decorating. There are no earth-shattering decor revelations here, but if you collect books to flip though to get ideas, or just love looking at pretty things, this one's not too shabby.

Summary: Just an uninspiring picture book and nothing more useful
Review: If you're looking for lasting decorating ideas, look elsewhere. If you want to wanly leaf through a coffee table picture book and read brief captions, borrow this from the library. The book is not formatted to inspire, it was created to showcase Andrew Wood's photography, and a name was added to the book: Stephanie Hoppen, whomever she may be. Isolating chapters include Easter Celebrations, Spring Flowers, a chapter on White Foods (!!!)... Shame on all involved in this unethical money-making venture.

Summary: Whatever your environement (loft or castle) you'll love this
Review: The authors took their subject seriously. They considered it as theme that had to be illustrated long various style-lifes and types of architecture. You will find a different point of view with Julia Bird and Pia Tryde "The simple home". In this other book, style is uniform, yet wonderful and easy to get inspiration from. White on white is a powerful concept well illustrated. This book will please everyone.

Summary: If you like shabby chic ...
Review: This is a book I like to page through when I want to relax. The pictures are beautiful and inviting. If you enjoy the simplicity of Shabby Chic but not necessarily the strict adherence to flea market items then this may help define your decorating style. I would recommend this book to any one interested in decorating and looking for inspiration.
