Disappointing,
By A Customer
This review is from: Decorating Makeovers (Hardcover)
Like so many other decorating books, this one is beyond the reach of people on a budget. Unfortunately the ideas are not terribly original nor are they geared towards those of us who are of the do-it-yourself school of home design. If you are interested in quick, home makeover ideas look for another book.

Neither affordable nor "easy" makeovers,
By A Customer
This review is from: Decorating Makeovers (Hardcover)
This is just another picture book with no practical information. Like so many others, it has photos of expensively furnished rooms that are beyond the means of most people. It is a disappointment, as decorating with unlimited funds is easy, but with limited budgets it is not. Better Homes and Gardens publishes book after book that all look alike... if you've read one, you've read them all. Nothing original nor innovative. If you really want to transform your home easily and inexpensively, buy Lauri Ward's Use What You Have Decorating books instead.

Decorating for a Real Life,
By "design17" (Dallas, Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Decorating Makeovers (Hardcover)
The idea of decorating your house can be so intimidating, until now. Seeing what can be done with the things you all ready have is such an inspiration. I am thrilled to think there are people out there who do interior re-arrangement for a living and would not be snobs about 'decorating' as it is usually thought of. Thank you for the great pictures and the amazing transformations.
