I was a bit disappointed with this book. While it does give all the color basics, and even shows how to put together some of the projects, it’s a bit of a hodge-podge. There are some great ideas here- how to use furniture in non-traditional ways (cutting down stuff, just using the fancy legs of a falling apart table, etc) for one. A beginner could learn a lot from this book. Sadly, I found that the tastes of the decorators isn’t the same as mine, but it’s not that hard to transfer an show more idea to a different way of using it. There are also some ridiculous things- cucumbers as décor (good for about 1 day before they start to wizzle up) or spreading dry beans on the kitchen counter as décor. Er, no. Three and a half stars. show less
Mostly for fans of the show's early seasons. The advice isn't really very practical, unless you want to re-create one of the rooms from the show--and who wants to make Hildi's fake-flower-covered bathroom or record-covered walls?
Great color photos, ideas and illustrations but the book layout is way too busy.
A bright and cheerful book on the use of color to add drama to interiors in home renovations done on the television show, Trading Spaces.
