Review # 1 was written on 2009-01-26 00:00:00 Daniel Wholecheese A gorgeous book, highbrow but not snooty, with brilliant, knowledgeable text and captions by color and paint expert Kevin McCloud. Contains 64 different palettes (and includes an index matching them to actual retail paint hues, mostly by Benjamin Moore). Many of the photos are atypical for coffee table design books and shelter magazines. I've spent hours staring at this inspirational book and never gotten tired of it. It sits on my shelf and constantly beckons to me.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-06-05 00:00:00 Tony Gibson A problem I find common with decorating books is that they date so quickly. This book was published in 2003, and it could have been 1980, studying the examples. There is definitely a European feel to the way the rooms are put together--things most Americans wouldn't settle for in their homes. I do think he could great care to get as accurate as possible color readings in his color selection palettes, and he chose interesting "themes" to match certain color combinations, for example, Sevres porcelain or "Seen through a fine gauze." Overall, my complaint against the book is the same one I have for just about all books in this field--they age too quickly.
