Much of this book provides a look at homeowners' decorating schemes in a variety of styles, such as traditional, mid-century modern, and southwestern, through numerous color photographs captioned with budget-stretching tips and the homeowners' decorating tips. Chapters that illustrate the use of color, pattern, furniture, and wall and window treatments, again with color photographs and captioned with decorating tips, follow these real-life decorating examples.
