Title: Uninspiring
Product review: I ordered two books to read on interior design; I needed some guidelines to follow. The first book was this one, and the second book was "Rooms: Creating Luxurious, Livable Spaces" by Mariette Himes Gomez, which is a far superior book. I like to see things from a logical set of rules and this book by Michael Smith does not offer it. Gomez's book offers a set of guidelines to lead the reader in a direction that is quite flexible, but has a strong instructional foundation. I read her book first and I really enjoyed it. I was terribly disappointed after reading this one. The pictures are a tad dull as seems to be the case with the new Rizzoli books and you have to figure everything out for yourself since Michael Smith is not offering any solutions.
