Reading this book is like going on an artist date in your own living room. My favorite them was focus, starting with the largest piece in the room. Great advice, great stylistic photos. For those with money to spend, they might follow the advice in this coffee table book, for me, the photos were a relaxing way to spend my time.

I enjoyed the photography and the design philosophy of this talented designed. There are so many rooms I would love to copy someday. Each room is fresh, interesting, soothing, and appears to be simple.

There is nothing traditional about what is contained in the coffee table book. There is no fresh take on traditional, because everything is completely modern. I'd truly hate to see what this author considers to be nontraditional.

the best ideas in here are in regards to wallpaper and pops of color in ordinary spaces. i want to remember this one for a future project i have in mind.

There are some good tips here and there but I felt the this book was probably more for coffee tables than a handy reference book for a new remodeling project.

Yawn. Such incredibly boring rooms—embarrassingly soulless.
