Summary: A Must Read
Review: This book is a "must read" for anyone just buying a home and wanting to decorate it successfully the first time. Also, there are "tips" included that teach you "how to hang a picture" to how to accessorize a table and so much more.

Summary: The ONE decorating book I consider a MUST - here's why:
Review: This is the book I turn to time and time again since the information in this book is timeless, making it a true classic (a rarity in decorating books). Whether you want to know how how to create a focal point in a room, group your objects attractively on shelves or hang your pictures for maximum impact, this book provides all the info you need for success.
There are also diagrams and photos for those who prefer pictures to print and much of the information, such as "Arthur's Magic Triangle" (a surefire formula for arranging objects of different sizes) can be used in any room, from kitchen to bedroom. He also has tips arranged by type of room.
Once I got this one, I got rid of tons of my other books. Why keep them? This was the only one I really needed.
