Oh wow! I really liked this diy decorating book because it actually gives you real ideas, in real rooms. Quite inspiring. I really don't even know my style of decorating, kind of an eclectic, country, thrift, up cycling, functional coziness; so this helped with a variety of the same room with different styles and ideas.They are NOT afraid of color either; I am. They are NOT afraid of collections and actually encourage them; yeah! I would be happy in alot of these rooms. I like that they give ideas for what to do in an hour, a day, or a weekend. Fun book.

If you're a fan of the magazine you'll like the book! Nothing earth-shattering here but a pleasant book to look at in front of the TV.
