Good, classic choices. Sumptuous photography. I was not convinced that the claims for “Inspiring treatments for every shape and style of window – from cottage casements to modern picture windows.” was fully and accurately met; because much (but not all) of this book relies on the house possessing large rooms with floor to ceiling, or window seat height-to-ceiling windows. Overall I found inspiration in this book; most of what is illustrated looks like it can be made by a competant home-sewer.

Lähinnä selailin kirjan läpi, mutta:

- Paljon historiallista tietoa eri tyyleistä
- Selkeät kuvat, hyvät piirrokset
- Paljon kuvia ja piirroksia sekä esimerkkejä että ohjeita
- Jos kaipaat jotain infoa verhoista, tämä aika varmasti vastaa kaikkiin kysymyksiin

Good book on interior décor, especially curtaining styles for windows. Good interior shots. Bought the book twice by mistake as other one had a different cover.
