Mary Emmerling's Quick Decorating: Fast and Easy Projects for Every Room of the House (American Country Series) by Mary Emmerling

This wasn't bad, compared to the related works I've read lately. A lot of the ideas are realistic, even for those of us who live in apartments. Many are attractive. Some are new to me (beyond different couch pillows for different seasons, y'know). And there are a *lot* of them. It's like a whole book of magazine clippings.

Still, I wound up with no actual take-aways of my own, and am glad I got this at the library instead of buying it.

If any of you have any favorite decorating books or show more designers, please recommend them! show less
