"At Home With Laurie Ann" is a lovely book that has stunning photography and gorgeous font and themes throughout it's pages.

My mom and I both loved this decorating book. With most of the decorating books we buy, the things they suggest for you to do are almost near impossible unless you have money to waste. As a family on a tight budget, I was extremely please with At Home with Laurie Ann. I have already implemented a few ideas from this book. I loved how everything she suggested was easily accomplished with very little if any extra money being spent. Laurie Ann's ideas are fantastic and something I normally wouldn't More...
