Great little decorating book - a must for home decorators,
By A Customer
This review is from: Elegant and Easy Rooms: 250 Trade Secrets for Decorating Your Home (Paperback)
I liked this book a lot, its well worth the money! This is a smallish book with lively little drawings. Its not one of those lavishly photographed books which show rooms so breathtaking you can barely relate to them. What it does do is provide elegant tasteful ideas which work no matter what your budget is. Some ideas were meant to stimulate your imagination while others were clear cut, direct answers to your problem. If anyone has ever stood in the paint store looking at a jillion shades of white paint and not being able to decide, what a comfort it is to have a book which says, if you want to achieve XXX look, then buy this brand of paint in these exact shades and they'll look great. There's no fluff in this super little book!

A great value for the pocketbook AND the imagination...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Elegant and Easy Rooms: 250 Trade Secrets for Decorating Your Home (Paperback)
I have many full color volumes on home decor and yet it's Dylan Landis's 'Elegant and Easy Rooms' that I return to time and time again. Landis isn't telling me how my rooms should look but rather giving me great ideas (many budget-aware) that help unlock MY imagination in creating a beautifully decorated home. Especially valuable for first-time DIY decorators.

Been there, done that,
By A Customer
This review is from: Elegant and Easy Rooms: 250 Trade Secrets for Decorating Your Home (Paperback)
The book is filled with many little tips, but the trouble is I've read them all before in other books, decorating magazines, etc. It's a collection of cliches, but I suppose it sells because it's worth the $10 or so that amazon charges for it.
