The 3 R’s in Decorating, May 31, 2010

This review is from: Restore. Recycle. Repurpose.: Create a Beautiful Home (A Country Living Book) (Hardcover)

This is a timely design book which is the one of the first of its kind to feature and unite three major trends impacting interior design today. These trends are: 1) intelligent use of financial resources in decorating– maximizing your design dollars 2) using green design principles and products in your decor plan and 3) cherishing past styles and design elements and reusing them in authentic, personal and eclectic interiors.

The author is passionate and knowledgeable about these and shows you how to restore, recycle and reuse items to create attractive rooms from living rooms and kitchens to bedrooms, baths and the outdoors. It’s full of how-to tips–including his grandmother’s tips–on how to accomplish this. And you get to see how these look in charming rooms that you’d like to live in. The rooms featured tend to be cottage and country (the author is a contributing editor to Country Living magazine), but the same tips and items could work in modern and retro interiors or an eclectic combination of these. If you like books on vintage decorating, flea market decor, eclectic interiors, apartment therapy interiors, DIY design, makeover rooms, decorating for less, you should enjoy this book.

It should spark your own ideas on how to incorporate something you love innovatively into a room. If you want a home you love, you need to have what you love in the home and this book shows you how to do it originally, economically and with healthy materials and green principles. It’s perfect for the first-time decorator, someone moving into a new home or apartment, or if you’re wanting to update, renovate and accessorize your home distinctively and like looking for unique and original pieces and combining them in fresh ways. For so long if something was old in a home, we threw it out and started over. Now we’re seeing the value of cherishing the past and incorporating it in fresh ways in our contemporary interiors. I think this book is going to be a best-seller as it teaches about the design trends which are becoming increasingly important today which will only accelerate in value to us as designers and curators of our own homes in the future.

Shame on you!, August 2, 2010

Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?)

This review is from: Restore. Recycle. Repurpose.: Create a Beautiful Home (A Country Living Book) (Hardcover)

I was really impressed with the book and the references to buying items from locations closer to home to eliminate transportation waste and then I saw on the brown strip around the book that it was printed in CHINA. Shame on the author and publisher for allowing this to happen. Kind of voids all the phrases in the book that say “…..buy locally and avoid things being shipped in from China or Mexico.” There have got to be lots of printers in the USA who would have loved your business and done an excellent job.
