Whether you're a seasoned homeowner looking to freshen up or organize your lair, or a first-time homeowner, this book might be just the ticket for taking your living space up a notch or two in the design department." –Detroit Home

"Useful, pretty and full of information . . . It’s easy enough to pick up and read 5 minutes at a time, and pretty enough to pick up and not even read a word." –Emily Henderson
