This book has 750 ideas...but they are all shown in mansions. There is nothing resembling a modest home for us little people. Yes; I can use my imagination and transfer parts to work in smaller areas, but it would take a lot of imagination. It is a beautiful book. There is not a lot of text cluttering up the pictures. Unfortunately, it is not geared for my bungalow.

Wonderful BookNov 20, 2008
This book is filled with wonderful ideas reflecting the overall styles of Country Living's publication. Some photos were a little less than top-notch in places but overall it is a lovely book packed with creative ways to kick-start your country decorating or to refresh what you already have. It's like a giant version of your favorite magazine without the advertisements and it just keeps going.

 Nice to Browse ThroughAug 04, 2008
Such a great buy. The book is huge and filled with tons of great photos. Also, there is not a lot of unnecessary descriptions so that makes it a relaxing read. I keep my copy on my end table, and from time to time, I flip through it. I always seem to find something I did not see previously. I also must note that the book is a soft cover, so it's comfortable to hold.

Tons of ideas in this book! Oct 12, 2007
Are you the type of decorator that needs to see photos of actual decorating ideas?....or (by contrast) are you the type of decorator that needs alot of writing to describe decorating ideas?
Hum?
...Well, if you are the type of "visual" decorator that loves to look at photos of decorating ideas ,in order to be inspired, then this is a GREAT book to own!
I am a visual learner, and I love to look at photos to be inspired when I re-decorate, so this book was an amazing find for me.
The title of this book says: "750 decorating ideas ", and the title is indeed, absolutely correct!
PS: I also purchased a similar book called "House Beautiful's 750 decorating ideas", and I loved that book also. Both are truly inspirational for the visual learners, like me.
