Title: Great - if you aren't a Northerner
Review: I bought this book, full of excitement. When it arrived, I was sadly disappointed. The book, although bright and colourful, is of little use. Most of the projects in the book require items specific to regions of the culture outlined (and relatively unavailable elsewhere), and often are things such as "buy this item and hang it like this". Other projects were quite campy and almost gaudy (the wrestlers' come to mind). Granted, I am in Canada, so perhaps I can't totally appreciate all it has to offer, but having studied Latin culture and interior design, I didn't feel this book correctly conveyed projects that were accessible to the average person. Furthermore, the common thread through the book was "be creative and make up your own stuff", albeit decent advice, one usually purchases a book in order to replicate projects or ideas outline with in.
