4.0 out of 5 stars i enjoyed it!, 2 Jan 2010
By B. Manfo "Buzzy Bee" (london, uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The imges and use of colours in the book are fantastic for inspiration. My head is absolutely buzzing with ideas, thats all it was for me a picture book, quite a few of the images i'd seen before in old living etc issues. So some ideas not so new but great all in one place. the definite downside was the actual diy advice - do we really need to know how to hang a picture or her instructions to construct flat pack cabinets? if your the sort who'd google "how to dig a hole" then this book is basic enough for you. Just wish it had more advice for custimising antique pieces. Still love this book though and now know why quite a few of my friends all have grey walls!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous and useful!, 11 Oct 2009
By Peachey Design (Tonbridge, Kent, UK) - See all my reviews
Like many children of the Thatcher age, I am very well educated but lack any proper DIY skills!

This book is sumptuous with glorious pictures and full of great ideas. Really challenges the idea that all rooms have to be light and airy. How about dark and cosy?

Despite the title, very handy for men who have trouble with DIY (like my husband, although he'll never admit it).

Definitely worth a read and you'll come back to it time and time again.

5.0 out of 5 stars What wonderful images, 13 July 2009
By M. Otesanya "missy style" (Hackney, london) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book has been printed on wonderfully tactile paper with images that are very easy to emulate. Abigail is a very talented designer and stylist and instinctly knows what works in a thoroughly unique and different way. She teams fantastic images with some very inspiring diy tasks that all can tackle. A great book that you will return to time and time again.
