Really Good

Even better than I'd hoped. As a person who has mastered the art of cluttering all horizontal surfaces, this book is just what I needed. Will there be a book signing?

Lots of resources

Marni Jameson's book House Of Havoc gives the reader tons of references to the sites of the experts she has consulted in the writing of her book. Not only is the reading easy, fast, funny and entertaining, It's also more informative than you'd expect a light-hearted book to be. What I learned aboout sheet thread count pays for this book. And I can't wait to try the jeweled ceiling stencil around my dining room light fixture. If you're into home decor, this is a fun book.
