A textbook for amateur designers September 28, 2008
I. Kadagidze
This is a book that should be read by anyone who is interested in design or just wants to decorate/redecorate their house. The book gives advice on decorating every room of the house in all detail, including sizes and measurements. The book is also lavishly illustrated with wonderful photos.
You want to start decorating straight after you finish reading!
Get this book - You CAN Do This September 23, 2008

I decided to weigh in on this book because 1) I feel so strongly about it and 2) Because of the disparity of opinion regarding whether this book can be used by amateurs, or is simply for professionals only.
I am a homeowner, with a limited budget, in the midst of a new home construction. I saw this book recommended in an issue of architectural digest as really forthcoming about the how-tos of decorating, not just pictures to drool over. I bought the book immediately and I love it. I can't tell you how valuable this book has been. I learned SO much.
I read it through cover to cover, then reviewed every picture again to assess the details, the use of symmetry, asymmetry, patterns, textures, trims, recurring themes and color schemes. It was incredibly informative, useful and inspiring. It completely prepared me to choose the surfaces in my home. It was useful for planning design details, such as how high the mantel should be and the appropriate distance between furniture pieces and how to achieve layers of light.
I have even purchased some of the resource material listed to further educate myself about antique rugs and furniture.
This book is for everybody. It's gorgeous and incredibly helpful.
Not your mother's interior design book August 29, 2008

This is not your mother's book of cookie-cutter interior design ideas...but lookout, she may "borrow" the book. The photography is great, the ideas are fresh and there is something for everyone...only...if you prefer exquisite taste whether casual or formal, elegance without the "do look at me" obvious cost. The rooms evoke the feeling that you "own" it, not that it was "done by a famous decorator with her tell on it" and the element of experienced quality in every aspect of the rooms shown. You will get lost in it in the most pleasant way.

This is a book I picked up, as I was attracted to the title. I read a review on amazon that said it's not a book for the home decorator. I disagree, I think it's a text book style book good for anyone who decorates, and for anyone who needs a guideline of how to present a professional proposal; for the non professional it shows you how approach a project, and organize keep project records and files.
