Der Autor über sein Buch

It's YOUR Home
FROM THE BOOK'S INTRODUCTION: Growing up in suburban St. Louis, I had my feet (and psyche) firmly planted in our beloved farmhouse with its fields, orchards, and shade trees. I adored the place and the peace and privacy of its setting. But what I didn't understand until later was the extent to which my sense of home as an adult was being shaped by the sounds and images of those early years. I cozied my first apartment in the city with familiar elements: an old wicker chair, overflowing bookshelves, an Oriental rug, and, of course, a cat. Today in the home I share with my husband, Ron (and four cats), it's no surprise that I gravitate to our second floor with its low knee walls and vaulted ceilings--happy reminders of my snug childhood bedroom. Even some room arrangements hint at the past. A friendly cloverleaf of Adirondack chairs in our year-round porch recalls a similar grouping from our backyard in the 1950s. And when I sit at my bay window desk today and look out into the woods, I feel the same contentment that I knew as a child when I sat in another windowed nook overlooking a different stand of trees. Whatever their style, the most inviting rooms always start inside someone's heart. Decorating, you see, isn't really about decorating at all; it's about creating a home that nurtures and relaxes you by reflecting who you are and what you love. Think for a moment about the things that have shaped your vision of what a home should be. Maybe it's a bedroom hideaway lovingly recalled from your own childhood, a screened porch where you rocked away an afternoon at a vacation lodge, your grandmother's dining room where the family gathered every Thanksgiving--or a room you may only have visited in your daydreams. By conjuring up images of such favorite places, real or imagined, you can cut through the sometimes confusing array of decorating choices, avoid being swayed by mere fads, and, instead, develop truly personal settings that will always please your eye and speak to your soul. As you thumb through the pages of The New Decorating Book, we'll give you the decorating help and inspiration--but you have to bring the dreams. After all, it's YOUR home. -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verf�gbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.

Beautiful book, but not what I was looking for 9. M�rz 2000

Von Arielle

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe

The book is absolutely beautiful with great color photographs and lots of information. The only thing I would caution against is that the book is mainly focused on traditional/classic and country/cozy type styles. There are a few contemporary designs featured, but anyone who is looking to design their entire house in a contemporary/modern style (think Ikea furniture) may be disappointed.

Just what I was looking for 19. Januar 2000

Von M. Pass

I saw the previous review and, lo and behold, saw the book in a big display at a local bookstore an hour later. I figured someone was trying to tell me something! I got it at the store, only to see that it's cheaper at amazon. Oh well. I'm glad I bought this book, because it is relevant and current, as the previous reviewer said. I'm really excited about all the ideas in the book, and I can see that it's also going to teach me all those decorating basics that I need. I didn't expect this from Better Homes and Gardens, but I must admit that I don't read the magazine. The book is over 400 pages and full of great color photos of very stylish rooms. A bargain!

A delightful surprise 3. April 2000

Von Ein Kunde

My daughter's home ec teacher was using this book as a guide in the class's installment on decorating the home. Now I see why. I had thought it was just another pretty picture book, but it's absolutely jam packed with information. It's an easy-to-read textbook on interior design, but unlike a real textbook, this one is illustrated with hundreds of color photos of what look to be real rooms in real houses. This kind of depth of information is what I need to make my own decorating decisions.

full of relevant information!

This book is very current and full of beautiful pictures. Helpful information on furniture arrangement, the pros/cons of all types of floor coverings, pulling together colors and... Lesen Sie weiter...

If you're going to buy one decorating book, buy this one.

The best! COMPREHENSIVE (maybe that's why a previous reviewer found it 'unfocused'?--it's meant to be a general book), sensible, stuffed with great ideas. Lesen Sie weiter...
