Mediterranean Living

Summary: Live the Live Style
Review: This book is exellent for those that are looking to give their live style the mediterranean touch, from room decoration to architectural desing, from colors of the sea to earth tones. If you are looking for a book that gives you the feeling of being somewhere else, or that inspires you to change or update your current surrondings, this is the book.

Summary: Beautiful and inspiring
Review: This is a great book for daydreamers as well as a great sourcebook of ideas if you want to add a touch of Med-Style to your home. It has great pictures (really great photography!!) with nice descriptive and often inspiring text by the author about the 22 homes of famous people like Pierre Cardin, Miguel Servera and Armani. If you look at the names you can also feel that this is not about the little cottages of the region, but some luxurious villas and mansions of these millionaires. But the book still gives you a great feel of the style and it does have really tasty interiors and gardens from all around the coast. I recommend it!!

Summary: Pretty pictures...
Review: Well, this is a beautiful book but the reason I purchased it was in hopes that it would give me some do-able Mediterranean-style decorating ideas. As I said, it contains amazing pictures but primarily of very authentic - old - mediterranean homes and mostly not something that I was looking to have in my home. I am not claiming that I was misled in anyway, I just wanted to provide this comment for future buyers who might have been thinking the same things I was...
