DESCRIPTION:
Good guide for those just beginning The images and ideas seem pretty dated (not sure but they seem to be from the late 80s or 90s) with a focus on traditional, wallpaper-heavy interiors. There were some good tips where it concerns measurements and practical information.. "Pretty good" according to Atlantis. This book isn't bad at all. I find myself picking it up when I'm trying to watch t.v. It has pretty good details about different thingsfabrics, lighting, flooring, walls, etc. As another review stated, 'I wish it had more pictures', and I also wish it were longer. I really don't think it could have had any more detail though. It's well worth the money, no doubt. My next book will be "remodeling for dummies".. Don't buy manfrommaine Completely useless book.
Kitchen design would have benefited from a checklist of design considerations similar to the one provided with bathroom design. From Library Journal Designed for the do-it-yourselfer, this new book from the McMillans (House Comfortable: The Art and Science of Comfortable Living, LJ 9/15/96) provides all the basics for home decorating, including styles, lighting, room-by-room design, and accessorizing. The Dummies format works well here; tips and pitfalls are highlighted with icons, although there are too few pictures to illustrate some points. Given the popularity of the series, this is a worthwhile purchase for public libraries.Copyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc.
