From Booklist
Editor Callery tackles the A-Z of home design in a unique fashion in three steps: ready, or understanding your options; set, the preparation stage; and decorate, the time to do it yourself or hire a professional. She starts with the easy stuff, painting and wallpapering, including the kind of advice only a well-conditioned instructor-expert could provide, whether it's decorative techniques like ragging and striping to copy or tips when papering around light switches or doors and windows. Then it's full speed ahead to seven other categories--tiling, flooring, kitchens and bathrooms, soft furnishings, window treatments, storage, and lighting--each containing more than enough information to finish part or all of one room or the whole house. A great guide for first-time and old-hand home owners alike. Reviewed July 2006))Barbara Jacobs
