From Library Journal:
Coauthored by two experts in the field (see, for instance, In the Romantic Style: Creating Intimacy, LJ 11/15/90), this enjoyable book helps do-it-yourself decorators define their own style and take steps toward attaining it. The authors cover the treatment of floors, walls, ceilings, hardware, lighting, color, furniture arrangement, and windows, among other topics. Excellent color photographs enhance this text. Classical and modern styles of decorating are addressed but not country, which is covered in such books as Miranda Innes's The Country Home Book (LJ 2/15/90) and Judith Miller and Martin Miller's International Country (LJ 2/15/90). Recommended for public libraries.
