Very helpful book, based on his design show on HGTV. When I met him in person he kindly signed my copy, while complimenting my son's colorful windbreaker I had purchased for him...which pretty much proved his point in his book and my goal in my life. Forget the greys and blacks. Enjoy color!
The tips in his book were quite helpful in designing my home, to bridge the differences in my style v my husband's style.

It’s not that the ideas were bad, it’s just that I found the style of every room pictured unappealing. Other than a cute idea for a little boy’s room and some exposed beams in one ceiling, there was literally nothing here I liked.
