An interior design book with approachable resources: this was a surprisingly informative presentation. The descriptive sections were accompanied by photographs to illustrate the decorative descriptions. Although I disagreed with the author's opinion in several instances (mostly because it isn't my style), many observations were spot on.

For instance ~
*choose colours you like, and don't fall prey to colours of the season (they'll change before you've pried the lids off the paint can)
*window coverings: before you get carried away with intricate pleats and embellishments ... remember that windows exist to let in fresh air and light; the coverings are to control those elements.

Many design books are published as if we're all interior decorators and have fantastic budgets. Mayhew's book was fun to page through and find snippets that applied for whatever one might be wanting suggestions. The language was simple and easy to understand. A plus in my world were the changes that one can reasonably attempt versus the renovations that really need to be contracted to a professional. ( )

A great, quick read with practical tips for making each room functional and comfortable. The taste level is great, though the decor doesn't really match my style. I really enjoyed the format, which provided just enough info/illustration to cover the basics of setting up house. ( )
