Customer Reviews

My New Favorite!

What a pleasant surprise. Use What You Have Decorating has been my favorite interior design book for years. It actually taught me what I was doing wrong and how to make it right. I still refer to it when I have questions. But Home Therapy has brought my decorating education to another level. It has impressive before and after photos, interesting stories and a ton of really useful advice. If you want to give your home a new stylish look you will be very happy with what you can achieve from reading it. Highly recommended.

Home Therapy: Fast, Easy, Affordable Makeovers

This book had great before and after photos, something I always enjoy perusing. Having the background on the clients made the situations realistic and the solutions practical. I can see why they called it Fast, Easy and Affordable Makeovers, nothing looked too costly and there was great advice offered.

More than just a decorating book

I stumbled upon an online review of this book that recommended it highly and I am so happy to have found it. What sets this book apart for me is that in addition to the great before and after photos, it is the stories of why the people redecorated that makes the book so compelling.

Don't Miss This Book!

For anyone who is short on time and looking for great changes to make in your home (depending upon your personal situation and life stage), run to buy this book. Compeling stories that we can all relate to along with detail drawings and beautiful photography that inspires, make this a must have for any decorating diva. Let's face it...we all like examples and what better deal than detailed "how to do it instructions" with photos to help us make our homes beautiful. Lauri Ward's book is written with sensitivity and inspiration. Don't miss it!

Loved It!

I've read all of Lauri Ward's decorating books and Home Therapy is the best one yet. There are beautiful color photos that show how Ms. Ward redecorated 25 homes of people, ranging from young to old, with all having very interesting stories to tell. There are even floor plans that clearly show the before and after arrangements of the rooms. Home Therapy is a winner!
