Country Living True Colors (ISBN 0688150942)

Amazon.com Review:
"Bold use of color," declares the book's forward, "like profound music and poetry, can evoke emotional responses not easily described." Color is a vital part of an exciting and interesting environment, yet so many people are afraid to use it; they wind up instead with safe (and very dull) rooms. Fear no longer. With the help of this spectacularly visual book, just about anyone can learn to utilize color as a versatile and powerful decorating tool. Crammed with ideas, the well-written text explains how to successfully employ both bright and pale shades through the use of paint, furnishings, fabrics, and decorative accents. Every spread is filled with intense, eye-catching photographs that should inspire even the most timid homeowner to introduce some color into every room.

This book was so much fun!:
I received this book as a gift from a friend that knew I love fabric and love color. I have spent hours (literally) thumbing through this book, enjoying the colors and enjoying the different decorating styles. My friends and I pulled it out at one of our Girls Only slumber parties (I'm 39) and spent 2 hours looking, and ooing and ahhing over it! I also got the nerve to paint my living room sage green, and I love it! Fun, fun, fun book!

Anyone can learn to utilize color as a decorating tool.:
Employs use of different color hues from brilliant to subtle. Teaches you how to use the colors together so that anyone can learn to utilize color as an interesting decorating tool. Beautiful pictures, well written!
