In the introduction, the writers brag about having united several years of interior decorating experience. Ha! pretty cheeky to write a book about it when you have only been doing it for as long as I've been doing real estate! I mostly skimmed it, but found several good ideas. Get it from the library!

Why is it that "for Dummies" books always make me feel stupid?
This book has some seriously outdated ideas, black and white photos... don't know why I even picked it up...
The only thing I learned from this was that I'm no dummy!

Yeah this was a mistake. Glad I bought it used for a few bucks, but really not even worth that. Too dated and not very informative.

too old and out of date and ....who were they writing for?
I don't think anyone is that much of a dummy.

Didn't find much valuable here, everything was pretty obvious.
