Publisher's Note These idea and information books show homeowners all the decorating techniques for creating Home, Spectacular Home! "Both books, with their multitude of photographs and clear, concise directions, have an exuberance and clarity that will inspire do-it-yourselfers. Watch for more books to come in this series". -- Library Journal 1/96
Industry Reviews Just as Creative Interior Design (LJ 10/1/94) did, these two books provide the amateur interior decorator with tricks of the design trade. Among its many features, Color Schemes offers advice on how to use pattern samples, an explanation of the color wheel, a description of the importance of color tone, and a checklist of personal needs to consider. Bedroom Decorating gives easy-to-follow instructions accompanied by line drawings for making various soft furnishings, such as pillows and bedspreads. A beginning chapter on fabric and equipment for the projects might have been helpful here rather than plunging right in with projects. However, both books, with their multitude of photographs and clear, concise directions, have an exuberance and clarity that will inspire do-it-yourselfers. Watch for more books to come in this series. Breitman
