Summary: A fabric-lover's dream
Comment: Although this book offers general decorating help, it's the best book I've seen on working with color, pattern, and fabrics. All the color photos are beautiful, and the captions and other writing have helped explain a lot of decorating principles no one told me before. I've already developed a plan for redoing our living-dining room on the cheap with pillows, a new table skirt, and simple curtains to go over our old blinds. (The book helped me figure out how I can keep my sofa as is!)

Summary: EXCELLENT...Very helpful
Comment: I have always loved Waverly products. When I came across this book in the library I grabbed it out of curiosity and absolutely loved it! Finally, a book that takes you through the home decorating process step-by-step in with easy to understand details. Before you even learn about color, that authors ask that you take a few simple (and fun) quizzes that help you hone in on your style.
The great thing about the quizzes is that they are actually personality profiles, meaning they revolve around your lifestyle...how you presently live and the daily choices you presently make. There is no discussion of what colors you like, whether you prefer country or contenporary, etc., until you have actually finished the personality profile. Besides, most people aren't aware of the fact that their home SHOULD be a reflection of how they live, they just want it to look nice!
Then the discussion on basic decorating techniques (beginning with a great primer on the color wheel, complementary colors, colors that reflect mood, etc.) begins and you start the journey of developing your own personal style. The information is presented in an simple, entertaining manner and the photos are gorgeous!
This book was a TREMENDOUS help for me when I became frustrated with my present decor and wanted a change (but I didn't know in which direction to go and I certainly didn't want to waste a lot of money). I highly recommend it, you'll refer to it often, even as you make the slightest changes around your own home.
Enjoy.
