Title: Interesting but sadly outdated
Product review: This book has sections on each room in the home, beginning with the kitchen, and proceeding to dining room, living room, bedroom, and bath. For each room it offers 3-5 different "styles" from country to contemporary, highlighting features that will magically transform your shabby room and furniture into a dreamworld, if only it were that easy... The authors give step by step instructions for one or two DIY projects that will be a step in the right direction. Unfortunately, almost all of these include contact paper, paint, or an incredible imagination.The recommended updates are a little out-dated -- particularly for the kids' rooms. The projects are all very superficial, and while they could be done cheaply, they would always appear to be just that: cheap. Some of the style comments are on target, but those can be found in any decent home design guide. This isn't one of the better books available.
