Title: A bit dated and staid
Product review: This book is pretty but I've been-there-done-that. I had hoped for some new ideas for my home (a fresh take on romance and tradition, which I love), but I did not find them here. The settings don't feel real to me. I want a home, not a stage set, and I need ideas for LIVED-IN style for my family and visiting nieces and nephews versus this kind of fussy, "precious" stuff. The style here is almost the worst of "grandma's house," and I can almost feel and smell the dust. Yuk.
