Comments: Finally a GREAT accessorizing book! Finally an extensive book on the art and science of accessorizing your home! This book has absolutely inspiring photos but it includes equally great step by step tips to get you that look. As any decorator - professional or wanna bee - knows, accessories make the room. This book is a "must"!

Comments: I would rate this book as a 10! I am a home decorating/design book junkie for 30+ years. I hesitate to write a review lest the reader think I am exaggerating or that I've been paid off by the author.
There is no other book out there like this. You may find a few, phenomenal pages of accessorizing/arrangement tips in home decorating magazines and books. I have clippings that date back three decades because they are so timeless. This book encompasses all of them and much more.
Add this extraordinary classic to your new or ancient collection. You will possess a treasure trove of exquisite design ideas, lessons, examples and principles.
Christi Carter, her family and her company have made significant contributions to Habitat for Humanity through her family's business and all of the proceeds of this book are donated. If you buy this book for no other reason, this may be the most compelling.
