I'm yet to build anything from this book as there seems to be quite a bit of woodworking involved, but the book itself is well put together with plenty of photos and clear directions. I'm particularly a fan of the histories provided in regards to home decor of the area and for each of the items demonstrated in the book. The scene photos are great too.

Good directions and techniques for making furniture and accessories.

Another good project book with lots of ideas. While I don't like all of them in this book, many are adaptable if you want to change the fabric or tweek the style.
