About this title

Review:

Even the all-thumbs, white-walls-are-safe decorating wannabe really can't go wrong with the sound and very thorough advice in this extremely user-friendly guide. Mostly text with lots of diagrams and the occasional black-and-white photo, it offers an easy way to study the whole subject in depth, or dip into it at random to learn about tackling a particular room, element, or style consideration. The pages are strewn with helpful little boxed items delivering tips, definitions, and the author's own solutions to the specific decorating problems of her clients. --Amy Handy
