Great concrete idea for very finished rooms May 2, 2009 J. Stuart (San Francisco CA) 8 out of 8 found this review helpful
I have a dozen books I'm using in re-decorating my apartment and this is my favorite. Disclaimer, I'm more comfortable with solid colors and open spaces than prints and cozy full rooms and so is Libby Langdon. She has gotten me over my fear of paint and given me great ideas of what I do need to add and what I already have that I can re-purpose. Her ideas on color and color combining, and furniture placements were very helpful.
I have spent the last 20 years in various spaces under 700 sq feet, and Libby knows ALL the tricks and taught me a few new ones. Her asthetic leans towards the polished and sophisticated while keeping warmth and comfort. She shows both average apartment before and afters and full "show" home decorating. There is something for most everyone here.
Thank you Libby, I look forward to your next book.

This is a terrific book - so many clever ideas using things I already have but never would have thought of using in a million years. If you're short on space or are just looking for ways to increase your storage without breaking the bank, this is the book you need. Lots of really good pictures too.

Great ideas that won't break the bank! June 10, 2009 Molly Bloom 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I live in a small apartment, and Libby Langdon's book has given me so many terrific ideas for giving my space more persoality. I have finally used paint to brighten up my boring white bathroom and living room and it has made a huge difference. I've also used fabric on a wall panel in my tiny dining area to cozy it up, and used floor to ceiling drapes in my bedroom to make it seem larger. This book is great because it gives such a wide variety of ideas, many of which don't cost a lot of money. It's all about knowing the "tricks of the trade," and Libby reveals all the great design secrets! Plus, she has a great personality, so you really enjoy reading the book.

You know the old saying,"a place for everything, and everything in it's place?" this book gives me hope of someday getting my treasures separated from my clutter. I really can come up with a plan with Libby's help. It's not that my space is that small,but the principles she uses,give me some ideas for getting it all straightened-out.

I added a small foyer and a bathroom to my house. I bought this book back in December and I used so many of her ideas. I'm thrilled with the end result.
