 Classic October 15, 2009

This book is beautifully done. She knows how to mix textures using fabrics and furniture from any time period, and she definitely has an eye for color and value. I love how she uses color throughout the book...each time the hues are perfect(the platinum/gray living is one of my favorites..so chic!). The rooms are glamorous and smart while being accessible. I will definitely use this as inspiration for my own home.

I will never get finished with this beautiful book. Each page is a visual treat and goes straight to my head with thoughts on improving my home's look. I want an entry that says "this is a different home than you thought".... and I want a bed like Jan's.... my favorite page is the one that shows a "collection of perfume bottles on a mirrored tray" .... good job, Jan Showers et al.

After devouring all 206 pages of design ideas and beautiful photography I can safely say that Glamorous Rooms will be a forerunner in my design library that I am starting to build. The book is divided into 6 "rooms" covering entry halls, living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, private spaces, and outdoor living. Jan Showers shares her portfolio of timeless interior spaces as well as ideas on how to achieve a touch of glamour in your own home. And these ideas are cleverly drawn from her 25 years of experience designing rooms of understated elegance. Several pages of my copy are already bookmarked -- whether they are rooms that I am inspired by or ideas that I wish to reference later and perhaps try in my own home. Until then Glamorous Rooms will be beautifully displayed on my coffee table as even the cloth cover, where Showers pays homage to Hinson & Co.'s Snow Leopard fabric, is glamorous.

I have always been a fan of Ms. Showers. Over the course of 8 years I have collected every article, magazine and book that has even mentioned the talent of this interior designer. I received my copy of the book today, and it was just what the doctor ordered: the elegant, and glamorous rooms are bright, beautiful and fantastically photographed.
I love the way each chapter covers specific rooms in a home, and yields many full-page examples of interiors. There is no choppiness of imagery that many interior design books publish nowadays, where one can find tiny photographs with about 12 examples of interiors on one page, and one can barely make out the interiors.
My one negative about the book is that I only wish the pages were printed on glossy paper. But maybe next time...
Inspiring & glamorous! August 25, 2009

I just received my copy of Glamorous Rooms and it is truly gorgeous! The exterior of the hard back and the silver tea paper immediately sets the reader up for the opulence that is in the book. Not only is it opulent, it is very helpful as it discusses design room by room....very accessible and inspiring!!
