I love this book and I am not decorating my first apartment 12 Dec 2002
By Amy Hilliard - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Parents definitely buy this book for your college-going kids! Others will enjoy it as well, but the style will most appeal to people under 40. The style is kind of funky-modern. I just bought the book, so I have not read the whole thing, but so far so good. It has instructions and materials lists for creating all the looks in the photos which is lacking in many interior design books. It also has general decorating tips.

Bonus: It describes typical problems to look for in an apartment and how to evaluate an apartment for these problems. It describes potential problems and red tape with the landlord, and how to avoid them, and it explains the renter's contract as well.

If you have just started exploring interior decoration, or are looking for your first apartment or tips to refresh your current one, buy this book!

Exactly what I needed 7 years ago 31 Oct 2004
By A. Blakey - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I don't actually own this book. I only looked at it in the bookstore. So, you may want to take my advice with a grain of salt.

However, this is exactly the book that I was trying to find seven years ago when I rented and wanted to invoke a bit of style into my living space. I was even tempted to buy it now that I own my second house. The only thing that discouraged me from doing so was the beginning section, which focuses on the basics of renting--i.e. selecting an apartment.

However, the meat of the book that talks about decorating seems to be excellent. It has inexpensive and temporary decorating ideas. It is perfect if you want to spruce up your space without making permanent and expensive changes.

I can't wait for Paige Gilchrist to come out with a book for homeowners living on a pathetic budget!
