Many of the ideas can be implemented in just a day or two and without breaking the bank. For instance, Linsley explains how pillows can be used to introduce a new color to a room, create a seasonal look, or add interest to a monochromatic scheme. Try adding an element of surprise to a home by painting a hall or bedroom closet a bright, cheerful color or by lining plain white drapes with a floral or other bold print that's noticeable when the curtains are pulled back.
Linsley does cover larger-scale decorating techniques such as painting walls and refinishing furniture, and she includes time-saving shortcuts--such as wiping down furniture with denatured alcohol to avoid having to strip it before painting. Pictures in the book are limited to black-and-white line drawings, but her directions are explained simply and clearly. Her tips are heavily influenced by what she calls the "clever, comfortable, and carefree" style of decorating--a formula that should appeal to homeowners looking for a cozy but low-maintenance living space. --Kris Law
