  1. This is seriously one of my favorite books. House Beautiful did a great job of giving clear and easy to understand decorating tips. One of my old clients loves to decorate so much that it killed her to have to hire a Interior Designer. I knew how much this hurt her, that instead of actually being an "interior decorator" for her, I was her "teacher" and walked her through making the right decor decisions for her home.

    When we were done with the project, living room/dining room, I actually bought her this book and told her that it will help her get through the rest of her home by herself. I DID tell her to call me if she needed extra help. She loved the book!!!
