Summary: Some good ideas, needed better editing
Comment: I agree with the person who complained about how many blank pages there are in this book. Most of these ideas have been dispensed before, by better writer and decorators than this author. However, what caused this book to get one star in my eyes was the complete and utter disregard for punctuation rules- every third sentence ended with an exclamation mark. Trite ideas dispensed by a trite writer.

Summary: Two Thumbs Down?NOT!!!!!
Comment: ...I not only own this book, but am a loyal fan of The Budget Decorator and belong to her online newsletter and have taken her workshop. It seems to me this reader bought this book when it wasn't what she was really looking for. This book is full of great ideas and inspiration, the fact that it doesn't have photos just leaves more room for great ideas! As another reviewer mentioned, the author is trying to help us find our own inspiration!!! As for the note pages, I welcomed them as a way to keep the ideas I liked in focus...and while I saw one typo in the book, it was certainly not to the degree this reviewer claimed. Nothing in this book is redundant or tired, and if the reviewer from Glendale thinks she can find all these ideas for free on cable tv shows...well than that just tells me the author knows what we want, and I think she has given it to us! (And frankly, I'd have to watch tv 25 hours a day to find this many great ideas!)
Great book with excellent bulleted ideas for every room in your house...it will make you rethink all the money you have wasted through the years decorating your home, and shows you how to create a space that is special to you and your family...

As for the reviewer from Glendale...someone must be starching her shorts.
