Some interesting decorating ideas in here...the book shows very expensively decorated rooms, and an attempt to copy the style in a less-expensive fashion. I found that I tended to prefer the less-expensive rooms anyway! I can't imagine spending thousands of $ on some of those items!

Took me 6 days to read this book, but the amount of design information/knowledge I got out of this was insane... this is my Design for dummies book! Knowing absolutely nothing about design - this book has helped me immensely!
