Review # 1 was written on 2017-07-03 00:00:00 Richard McClellan 4.5 stars. I love how Sargent demonstrates the use of moodboards throughout the book. I also love the use of a particular beloved object as a starting point for choosing a color palette. Most of the examples are too visually busy for my style (though absolutely lovely to look at), but that doesn't matter: the strategies Sargent discusses can be implemented by anyone, regardless of their personal preferences. (Admittedly many of the examples featured people who were in positions to do extensive house renovations and purchase custom furniture to get the pictured designs, but I still think the strategies can be scaled to any project size.) I got a lot of practical ideas from reading this book and actively want to dive into Pinterest to create my own moodboards.

Review # 2 was written on 2008-12-03 00:00:00 Cheri Runyon Jam-packed with attractive photos, this is the book for people who love color--lots and lots of color on top of lots and lots of color. I've decided that my decorating style loves color, but I need something to be neutral. I can paint bold walls, but the furnishings need to be neutral; or I can have colorful furnishings against a neutral wall.
