Best of its Kind - Informative and Fun to Read,
By A Customer
This review is from: Decorating with Architectural Details (Paperback)
I loved this book. Much more than a how-to book, so well written that I would have read it just for pleasure, even if I hadn't needed the detailed and clear practical instruction. Very historically informative. Reminds me of some of the best cookbooks: the reading of it is as much fun as making the recipes.

A Beginner's Education,
By Lisa Hardy "Liser" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Decorating with Architectural Details (Paperback)
I have recently bought an old house that needs lots of work. I am new to home improvement and found this book really helpful. It is well-written and the practical approach makes it very accessible. Just flicking through the pages gives you loads of ideas and inspiration. There are technical drawings for a behind-the-scenes, how-to view. The photos are accompanied by clear (and occasionally witty) captions. There's also a useful glossary. I have filled three recessed nooks with shelves and am now renovating my staircase with the help of this book.

Ideas Galore!,
By Deborah L. Crouse "Finicky Feline" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Decorating with Architectural Details (Paperback)
This is the perfect book for someone in the construction phase of their dream home. There are so many pictures providing a pletora of innovative ideas. I really liked the construction pictures that depict how a few separate pieces of molding can create a spectacular design! I'm taking the whole book to my trim guy so he can have a 'visual' of exactly what I want. I've purchased a lot of books as a first time owner/builder, and I have to say, this was certainly one of the best!
