Practical - Great ideas,
By
This review is from: Trade Secrets: Creative Solutions to Home Decorating Problems (Paperback)
Having read the Finishing Touches book - which is also packed with ideas - i found this book very useful. The book covers typical problems that people encounter with regards to decorating, changing, or adding something different to your environment. Linda also offers you 'Tips' in which she might suggest a similar feature, or even a DIY instead. This book will get you thinking in a direction you didn't, you might even find yourself suggesting ideas before Linda answers the question. Very helpful.

Very English,
By Denise Anderson Poore - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Trade Secrets: Creative Solutions to Home Decorating Problems (Paperback)
I am a huge fan of BBC America's "Changing Rooms." The author of this book, Linda Barker, is a regular on this television show. I purchased this book hoping it would contain tranformations of rooms, tips, and advice for the home. This book contained no photos and many questions from home owners of Great Britan. I could not relate to many of their questions or Linda Barker's advice because they were so particular to that region. I am still a fan of Linda Barker and I will probably try one of her other books.

Love Her, Love the Show, The Book, Not So Much,
By K H Edwards - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Trade Secrets: Creative Solutions to Home Decorating Problems (Paperback)
Being a FAN of Changing Rooms I ran headlong into purchasing Trade Secrets. I should have read Denise's review first! In too much of a rush. Was hoping the book would be filled with nifty "how-to's" for making interiors look fabulous and different by using particular materials and products. Especially the photo transfer to fabric technique seen occasionally on Changing Rooms.Every chapter is a series of Q&A. The book is well-organized and the questions answered in sufficient detial to give the novice decorator some excellent pointers. Pictures would make this book good. Without them, it's barely worth flipping through. I tried desparately to find some reason to keep the book on my shelf, but there's not enough in it for me to make it a worhtwhile reference which I'd consult more that once. So, back in the mail it went. <Sigh>. |
