[Susan]

Full marks for the written material. The pictures are almost exclusively of modern decor. It would have been more beneficial to have a mix of styles.

Published in 2003. The pictures don't inspire.

I do like the design principles. It's worthwhile to pick up and see if there are ideas from which you can benefit.

This was a library book. I wouldn't purchase it.

Practical and full of good advice. "Modern" is still mostly applicable, though this book was written in 2003. Much of the book is about finding storage for stuff. I'm inclined just to have less stuff.
