I find the book very well put together, and very informative.
It really introduces the idea of combining textures and colors in Interior Design, a concept that not everybody can understand when attempting to put a room together. It is fun to see the different designer's background, their taste and their creations!

pretty pictures rating: 3
Pretty pictures included for each designer. Book as a whole seems bland. Should have gotten more off-beat designer/decorators- too much beige and too many shells and buddahs! Not really "good" taste- just alot of the same. While you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, it seems lovely to think someone is inpired by spices and purses and flowers, etc.
But the inspirations on the inside were mostly one-word answers, almost completely devoid of descriptive language. Would have wanted more.
