Rich pictorial content to stimulate your own decoration idea July 11, 2003
2 out of 3 found this review helpful

While the book is indeed very heavy (hope they have a paperback version), among more than a dozen decoration books I found in book stores, I actually enjoyed browsing through this book the most. There is rich pictorial content to stimulate ideas for decorating your places to fit your own style. The book helped me quickly get a feeling of what styles or the combinations of them that I like or dislike. Also got small ideas here and there that can be quite useful. Bottom line: a good start point.

TEXT HEAVY, PHYSICALLY HEAVY, TOO. September 17, 2002

2 out of 6 found this review helpful

The photographs in this book are beautiful, but the book itself is a heavy, cumbersome thing that weighs four pounds - making you reconsider having it shipped, or even trying to drag it home. The text, which there is a lot of, apparently was translated and reads awkwardly. It is printed in a too-small font that gives you a headache. My advice is to skip this one altogether, there many great decorating books out there.
