More for house than apartment dwellers, Emily inspires crafty projects and trips to second hand markets or thrift shops to add to decor. Some of the rooms have a more farmhouse, preloved, furniture feel, which may not be for all. Some cool ideas for personalization and recycling.

I just felt that the tips weren't very applicable to someone not furnishing an entire new space but rather trying to beautify her own space.

Fine.

I love decorating books. This one didn't offer anything new but I enjoyed skimming through it.

Pretty to look at but nothing here that will work in my home. Good inspiration for college apartments maybe. "Peeling paint on a plaster wall adds Bohemian chic". No. Believe me. No.

A good little book full of quirky, vintage and useful interior design ideas.

This was pretty weak, with much repetition in the photos.
