Coffee Table Book
A nice book to flick through but don't purchase if you are expecting practical advice. Looks good on the coffee table!

Excellent, filled with inspiration
I purchased this wonderful book for ideas on finishing touches for a guest bedroom - lamps, pictures, wall decorations and it surpassed expectations. The book is unputdownable, cramed full of advice and I highly recommended it. Would also make a fantastic gift - and a great coffee table book.

Nice ideas, no "how to"
She has a lot of very nice ideas about decorating that can help you open your mind, but she doesn't give any specific ways of how to do them yourself in the house, based more on giving you a first impression and then you follow your intuition and imagination to do the rest. I liked it, but I would appreciate if there were some more instructions.
