Summary: Best of the Pottery Barn books
Review: I have read/used three of the Pottery Barn books listed in order of my opinion of them: Baths, Living Rooms, and Bedrooms. Baths was very good, with beautiful photographs, interesting and innovative ideas, and some useful design advice. Most of the book provided a several page showcase for an individual bath with discussion of what made it special.

Living rooms was OK. It's content was more canned, but it still had some inspiration and enough ideas that were useful that although I would not put it amongst the best such books, it was worth an hour or two to browse.

Bedrooms hit the bottom of the list for me. The content seemed especially canned. The ideas were not fully developed and most of them appeared to me more appropriate to someone's first apartment than an established home (so it just needs the right audience?). Lot's of the pictures involved just using eclectic pieces and did not involve actually developing a decorative theme.

Summary: Just lovely
Review: I received this book about 3 weeks ago and still look at it almost every night. The pictures are so beautiful, and the book gives advice on everything from lighting to color and space. If you are getting ready to re-do a bathroom, this book will give you some wonderful ideas, things you might not even have thought about! I hope Pottery Barn will make more design books!!

Summary: Pottery Barn Bathrooms
Review: It's about time!!! I've been waiting for a book like this for years. Pottery Barn Bathrooms has to be the most beautiful book on this subject that I've ever seen. The book features lots and lots of clean, classic, and lovely ideas for bathrooms. I especially enjoyed the section on using colors, which talks about core colors, basic colors, and accent colors. I highly recommend this book. You won't be able to put it down!

Summary: If you like white woodwork and freestanding tubs....
Review: My husband and I are building a house and I was looking for bathroom ideas. Well this book is for you if you like painting every speck of your woodwork white (what ever happened to natural wood? ), want a castiron or claw foot tub and are into strangeness like putting your bathtub in the living room! I guess I'm just a little too mainstream for this. Most of the ideas in this book are just way too impractical... This book pictures this hottub I guess you'd call it, that is actually a concrete box...I want a hottub in my new bathroom but I'm looking for comfort, that concrete box looks like a cold water coffin. This book also features this bathtub in the living room idea. Hmmm call me crazy but why on earth would you want to do that? Theres also pictures of an outdoor bath in a watering trough!!! I was really hoping for some ideas I could use. Silly Me!!!
I'm sending this book back, there's absolutely nothing in it I can use.
