Classic Design Styles,
By A Customer
This review is from: Classic Design Styles: Period Living for Today's Interiors (Hardcover)
Another sumptuous book of design ideas, from Henrietta Spencer Churchill. If, like me you enjoy nosing into other peope's rooms without the threat of being arrested, then this book will give you the opportunity to do just that. Press your nose through the windows... browse through an elegant collection of period styles from many eras. I found myself wallowing in bliss in the beautifulimages... and when you go back for your second and third viewings, you might even learn something at the same time!Jackie Newcombe, columnist and author

The Best Housewarming Gift Ever,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Classic Design Styles (Hardcover)
What a pleasure! Lady Henrietta's books are always a wonderful combination of how-to and design history. Unlike many decorating books, this is a pleasure to read, even if you're not planning on specific changes. Also, while the photographs are all of splendorous homes of the wealthy, the author consistently gives tips for those of us with a significantly tighter budget. I recommend this to anyone interested in design history (beautiful photos!), and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who lives in a "classic" home, regardless of your level of know-how.

Decorating Ideas,
By Bear One - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Classic Design Styles (Hardcover)
Lady Spencer-Churchill has written some very good English decorating books. The photographs are beautiful and the text is always well written. I purchased this book as a gift to give to a friend. I rated it with four stars as I found the book seems to feature mostly yellow or gold colored rooms, which I found a bit repetitive.

Classic Design Styles,
By LIZZY "Wife & Cat Mom" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Classic Design Styles (Hardcover)
If you are a lover of history as I am, you will enjoy this book. It is not purely a home decor book of ideas, but truly a photographic history lesson on many classical styles and the reasons behind them. Some photos may seem rather palatial for today's modern living...but if you like antiques and architectural history you can certainly take a few elements and apply them to a city apartment, modest house, or if you are very lucky, to the English mansion you may inherit from your long lost auntie...
