Unbelievable Results, 15 Feb 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Decorating for Good: A Step-By-Step Guide to Rearranging What You Already Own (Paperback)
We are a middle class family with a very nice home filled with items I had meticulously chosen. Nonetheless, I was constantly moving furniture, re-hanging pictures, re-arranging table top items, etc. in an effort to achieve the "decorator" look that you see in magazines. It was hopeless. I, like many of my friends, assumed that I simply had bought the wrong furnishings. I stumbled upon "Decorating for Good" and miracles began to happen. I couldn't believe my eyes when I started using Carole's formula. My husband immediately asked how much money I had spent. Imagine his delight when I quoted the price of the book! At long last I feel my home is settled and PERFECT! THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART, CAROLE!

The Perfect Gift for the Holidays!, 9 Dec 1999
By Happpy Reader - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Decorating for Good: A Step-By-Step Guide to Rearranging What You Already Own (Paperback)
After reading a newspaper article about Carole Talbott, I finally 'Visually' saw what I have been looking for. I ran out and purchased this book. I have an L shaped room that we use for entertaining and like to have everyone in sight. I have been stumped with this decorating dilemma for over five years. High ceiling here, fireplace there, waterfront property on the oppisite side, nothing seemed to balance out. I had to see what this book could do for me, so I sat down and read it CAREFULLY. I found it very easy to read and understand. Each chapter is a new step. She starts you where you need ot start, and keeps on going to the last detail. Then, I got busy and the transformation was unbelievable. I can not express to you what a wonderful feeling the room has now, just by following this step by step guide. So, if you are serious about wanting to redecorate without a decorator, this book "Decorating for Good" is what you need. Maybe some of today's decorators need to take some of Carole Talbott's advice. I had hired the best in my area and never felt the warmth and comfort I now feel after using the steps I learned in this book, "Decorating For Good." Enjoy it-I did! P.S. It is my favorite gift for giving this Christmas, everyone is getting a copy.

pay attention to these reviews!, 18 April 2002
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Decorating for Good: A Step-By-Step Guide to Rearranging What You Already Own (Paperback)
I wish I had, and saved myself some money. This book is frustrating! She talks about selecting architectural focal points as a start to your redesign. But the line drawings (not photos) that are supposed to help you understand her principles don't show you what the selected focal point was or why it was chosen. The other thing that struck me as odd was that she tells you to look at your furniture as shaped objects, rather than functional objects. Well, in a small living room with a TV, you have to look at your furniture's function! I am sure she has a lot of natural talent and her rooms probably look nice--but that doesn't translate to paper here. Buy Lauri Ward's books instead.
