A REFRESHINGLY DIFFERENT DECORATING BOOK

This is a wonderful book and handles decorating your home from a refreshing perspective. Decorating should not be just about the way the sofa looks next to the fireplace, but also how you feel when you touch the fabric, how the color of the room motivates you or relaxes you, even how the house smells, how the whole effects your comfort level. Our homes are our refuge from the outside world and should be very personal and unique to ourselves. Those who do not understand this concept should get one of Martha Stewart's insipid books. This book has taught me to look at my home as a reflection of myself. Just as I do not dress to please others, from now on I will decorate my home to please only me. New home owners out there, buy this book now!

The quintessential guide to interior design. It's nifty!

I thought I had pretty good taste when it comes to spiffing up the ol' homestead. Catherine Bailly Dunne showed me how hopelessly inept I really am. Her sense of style is a force unto itself. Colors and textures come alive with her inventive, yet simple flourishes. This book is ideal for beautifying any home, from a one-bedroom rathole to a multi-gabled country estate. Hats off to the author. Catherine, you've really dunne it this time!

Truly Inspiring!

I just finished reading this book, and am SO glad I bought it! It's full of wonderful common-sense ideas that make total sense and don't cost big bucks. I am now really inspired (and excited) to try some of the ideas in my own home -- and because I'm sure I didn't pick up all the great information the first time, I'll be reading this again...and again...and again. A SUPER investment!! So glad this book is out there!

Inspiring!

Interior Designing for All Five Senses has changed the way I decorate my house. It was previously designed to please the eye; and somehow this did not have the right feel. Adding texture, sound, smell and yes, taste, has truly transformed my house into a home. Dunne, you are an inspiring decorator!!

The decorating book you've been looking for!

For all you homeowners out there, this is the book that will transform your house into a home! What a beautiful book; the perfect gift for any person interested in lots of useful decorating ideas. The photography is gorgeous. Can't wait for your next book, Ms. Dunne !! Thanks to you, my house looks and feels a lot more interesting now!
