Book Description

HGTV's smash hit TV show Colin and Justin's Home Heist launched in 2007, unleashing the outrageous wit of sassy Scottish designers Colin McAllister and Justin Ryan on an unsuspecting and style-deprived Canadian public. Now the hilarious hosts use their expertise (and sharp tongues) to teach us how to renovate our own dismal dwellings, room by room. Colin and Justin's Home Heist Style Guide takes the reader through every stage, from planning to perfection, with in-depth advice about everything from choosing colour schemes to shopping for your home on a tight budget, giving even the most hopeless homeowner an indispensable list of the do's, and even more importantly, the don'ts of home design.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun and Bold Style Guide, Oct 6 2008

By	Sheri S. (Montreal, Quebec) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

Talented designers Colin McAllister and Justin Ryan have had their own popular home design shows in the UK, US and Canada. Based on HGTV Canada's hit show "Colin & Justin's Home Heist", Colin & Justin have come out with their own decorating book for Canadians called "Colin & Justin's Home Heist Style Guide".

In this fun book, there is a room-by-room guide to home renovation that features many case studies detailing the transformation steps along with before and after pictures for living rooms, dining rooms, kitchens, bedrooms, family rooms, and bathrooms. (My favorite room makeover would have to be their conversion of a dreary spare room in the basement into a beautiful spa bathroom!) There are also sections dedicated to home offices, hallways, porches and decks. They discuss how to establish focal points in each room and include a great deal of practical information about important topics such as storage and lighting. Colin & Justin also teach readers how to accommodate for multi-purpose rooms, small spaces and tight budgets. At the end of the book, the primary topics of color, wallpaper and paint, lighting, flooring and accessories are explored in further detail.

Look out for C & J's tips which are located throughout the book and highlight their quirky style and personalities! For example: C & J's tip for bedrooms, "When dressing a bed, make it a tactile feast for the fingers as well as the eye. Mix soft satin with a luxurious cashmere throw. Then and only then, will you discover the true meaning of being `good in bed'!" Wow!

Their book emphasizes finding your own unique style based on who you are and what you want from your home, as opposed to preaching what should and shouldn't be done. Inside you will find all the typical elements of home decoration but what makes this book special is the blend of Colin and Justin's wacky sense of humor and eclectic style. Colin & Justin's style combines traditional and contemporary looks with bold color choices and unique accent details. Their writing is as fresh and bold as the colors they use in their d�cor. Additionally, the vibrant pictures of the homes are beautiful and enhance the aesthetic of the book making it an even more enjoyable read!

In addition to their wicked humor and bold style, what I appreciated most about "Colin & Justin's Home Heist Style Guide" was their realistic tips and suggestions. Some of my favorite hints include: Top 12 Ideas for a Small Space and Top 5 Ways to Make Your Bathroom Look More Expensive. This isn't a book you will read only once, but rather it is a useful resource that can be referred to anytime depending on your styling needs. Even if your home does not need renovation, it has a lot of helpful information about how to add accessories and touches of color to update and beautify existing rooms.

5.0 out of 5 stars home heist, Oct 8 2008

By	design fan (canada) - See all my reviews

Really clear ideas about design are laid out easily for anyone who's not sure about where to start, how to plan or where to shop. All done with cost saving in mind although the results of each project are indulgent looking spaces. The advice might show how to save money but it's all put together to look seriously indulgent. Great kids rooms, advice on small space planning and all manner of great design ideas. And the photography is pretty awesome so its kinda like house porn!!!!!!
