I have a love-hate relationship with interior design books. I love all the ideas, the lovely, perfect, homes, and they are just fun. On the down side, they make me wish I lived in Europe (or whatever wonderful place all the pictures were taken), that I had a lot more disposable income, and that I had gotten a degree in interior design rather than history. Oh well. This book was great. I have a lot of new ideas and now I want to find a way to create a 'box bed'. Oh, these types of books also make me wish I were a carpenter or some other more handy type of person.

One nice thing about this book is that it looks at a wide variety of styles, including freestanding and antiques, rather than just recommending purpose built modern units.
