 Love this book July 11, 2007
Jessicaussie (Australia)
I really enjoy reading this book over and over. It has some great styling ideas and inspiration.
One of My Favorite Decorating Books February 9, 2009

This book has wonderful ideas for styling vignettes, for using objects in different ways than they were intended, and the photos are 'eye candy'. I have no idea how many times I've picked up this book when I've needed a fresh idea or inspiration. It's one book that I will definitely keep in my library.
 contrived and copied January 24, 2008

beautiful photographes BUT!...it is very contrived and copied. The text while well written tries to envoke a sence of family but does not quite draw one in...although trying to sound nostalgic it feels fake and pinched. If one likes this type of style, Another better choice would be the books by Mary Carol Garrity and her work at Nell Hill. Although I don't give her a very favorable review in her decorating style when one reads her text one knows she has lived it and feels it to the marrow of her bones. Also one note...this book was re-released under another title but is the exact same book...again, is this work really original or...??? Can't she come up with anything new and ORIGINAL!
A huge disappointment December 8, 2008

This book did not live up to the title, the featured items looked second-hand and unprofessional, when I was expecting advice on how to decorate with Collectibles, as in Collections. I will be taking the book to Goodwill.
