A great book for Trading Spaces fans: This book is great for those who wish they could stop, rewind, and replay the Trading Spaces room makeovers over and over again. There are several "after" pictures of each of the rooms featured along with directions on how to complete some of the projects in those rooms--including "how to make a lamp out of anything", making pillows, measuring for slipcovers, and numerous painting techniques from faux finishes to painting images on walls. An excellent book!
Don't bother..: As a fan of Trading Spaces this was the first book I saw out with the Trading Spaces name on it, so I bought it up but quick. Wow.. I cannot say how much I was disappointed. This book was a very VERY entry level book on color. I had no interest in much of the book, as the color schemes were too off the wall for me. A better book on color would be Home Decorating for Dummies or the Color Directory. One could go to an elementary art class and learn the information within this book. Total disappointment. I could have read it in the store and gotten the exact same information I took away with me. Avoid!
Color! is King of all home decorating books!: "Color!" rules, you know what I mean. You don't because you haven't bought it yet. What's wrong with you...buy it. You don't need me to tell you what's hot. You know it's going to be a good book. It's "Trading Spaces". Anybody who's anybody knows "Trading Spaces" are in. "Color!" really helps you to explore your inner wall painting desires. All my walls used to be white before I read "Color!" by Trading Spaces but now all are filled of SPONGE BOB themes because I am truly not afraid anymore to express myself through my walls. I can hold my head up high. I have read "Color!" and you should too if you really want to be free of those boring stark white walls.
