4.0 out of 5 stars
Informative and fun,
This review is from: House Doctor Instant Makeovers (Hardcover)
I love the House Doctor series and enjoyed this book (the first House Doctor book I've read). It shows homes from the shows being made over and how its done. It also includes great DIY projects such as recovering a sofa or ottoman, and tips for tarting up a house for sale.I would have liked more 'before' photos so that you could really compare them to the 'after' ones, but on the whole, I really enjoyed this book.
