Olson on Design,
By BMW (MB Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Candice Olson on Design: Inspiration and Ideas for Your Home (Paperback)
I thought her book was ok. She gives detailed instructions on the items she uses, there is a before picture, then you view her sketch of the area that she will redesign, then the photo of the final product. The reason that I didn't rate the book higher is because I am looking for something specific for my home. I see a lot of her designs that I like on HGTV so I may try to purchase a DVD instead.

Great Follow Up to the Show,
By Cindy Brock "Amazon High-Ranking Product Revi... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Candice Olson on Design: Inspiration and Ideas for Your Home (Paperback)
My husband and I love the show and believe that Candice is the ONLY designer we would ever hire to decorate our home (if I didn't do it myself). This book is great because it contains the designs that appear on the show and allows us to view them in detail (since it's hard to grasp everything in 30 minutes). The ideal reader for this book is someone who loves Candice, loves the show, and is not looking for hand-holding, step-by-step information. It's for those of us who see something we like and then want to incorporate portions of one (or more) of her designs in our own environment.

How Divine,

This review is from: Candice Olson on Design: Inspiration and Ideas for Your Home (Paperback)
I am a big Candice Olson fan and she is my Mom's favorite TV designer/decorator. This book DOES feature projects from her TV show, but this was a plus for me. I have TIVO'd and recorded on DVD my favorite shows, but this is a great companion to the show. The advantage of the book it that you can focus in on a detail you might not have noticed on the show. There were actually two redesign projects in the book I have not seen on TV, so that was nice bonus. What I really like about this book is that the before and after pictures were of the same perspective AND the photography/lighting of the rooms was top notch. Even the smaller photos of the before rooms are clear.Even if you've never seen Candice Olson's TV show (Divine Design) you will find this book chock full of great photos, descriptions and her complete layout of each room. If you have never seen her work, when you see the before pictures, then the after pictures your mouth will drop open. It's amazing what she can do. What I like about Candice as a designer is that her designs are totally focused on creating a beautiful design but also incorporating a family's lifestyle into the design. She does not just create "show rooms" she makes the rooms functional for the family. My only quibble, which is the same quibble I have about the TV show is that there are no costs listed. You have NO idea how much these rooms costs! Saying that, I would gladly save my money to have her come and decorate a few rooms in my house! It's too bad for me she lives in Canada and not the U. S. What are my thoughts on this book..."How Divine." 40 of 40 people found the following review helpful

Love Candice!,
By T. Pastorelle "design book collector" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Candice Olson on Design: Inspiration and Ideas for Your Home (Paperback)
This is one of my two favorite design books (Nate Berkus' Home Rules is the other). After watching Divine Design for years, I was using many of the principles learned there as I started a major renovation. I was happy to see this book and ordered it immediately. The only thing that was disappointing is that it only features designs that have been previously featured on Divine Design (I remember them all). I was hoping for a few tips from other projects. But I definitely refer to it regularly when making those small but important choices in renovation.
