The beauty of this book is that it showcases everything in a house – not just one part. It’s organized well with beautiful photos and descriptions. It a collection of what’s new and gives the reader ideas of what they might consider changing to update their homes.

Renovating a home can be intimidating with all sorts of materials and styles offered. Sadly, mistakes are costly. This is a book that can help with visualizing a project and knowing what options may be available so better show more questions can be asked before starting a project.

It’s basic but gives readers what to look for with remodels for every room in the house: kitchen, bathroom, living rooms, dining room, bedroom, home office and utility rooms. She gives the reader ideas for windows and doors, furniture, textiles and upholstery, hard finishes and flooring, cabinets, fireplace, wall finishings and lighting.

The book doesn’t address everything such buying a single or double sink in the kitchen and having one or two dishwashers installed. However, it’s a good reference giving homeowners all sorts of ideas. It’s like watching several episodes of HGTV Renovation Series and thinking: we need to do that.

It would also make a nice gift for a homeowner who may just want to glance through and imagine all the possibilities show less
