I tend to rate books high because if they aren't good, I don't continue with them. This is a beautiful book and I did get some inspiring ideas that I'll actually use for my own work spaces, such as my art room, my craft closet, my shed out back for gardening tools, my little desk in the library, my space around the kitchen bar where I do most of my emailing, and all the other places I do "work" around the house. As others have said, there's nothing surprising or new in it. Just images of gorgeous, old, renovated homes.
All the books in this Pottery Barn series, organized by type of space, are surprisingly good reference books for DIY decorators. Not much here you won't have seen before if you're in the industry.
