Cath Kidston's easy style is such a joy. She has an ability to make the most ordinary things seem pretty

Customer Reviews

a pretty little book but do you need two?
This book is a recycling of Cath Kidstons' original book 'Vintage Style' so dont make the mistake loads of others have by buying both and being really dissapointed (me included!)

By recycling I mean it's basicaly exactly the same book, same text, same pictures but a smaller,cheaper, paperback version with a different cover.

Having said that, it is great and you should read the reviews for her Vintage Style book to get a better idea of what you are buying!

Not a good book
Not a great book to be honest, doesnt give much detail and small pictures and tips. Only get this book for a present I wouldnt advise this book for people who are looking for many tips to redecorate. Overall a bad book. I wouldnt advise it.

mediocre
not the best book ive ever bought, its pretty and looks good on the shelf but the content is week and very basic. the images are tiny and its more of a token book then a resource one.
ok for the money but I woulndn't recomend it unless you are fanatiacl about cath kidston books. there are better vintage style books on the market.
