A beginner's guide to home decorating for the budget-minded among us, especially those who need a little reassurance. We're not all Martha Stewart, nor want to be, and Bari Lynn and Abbe Aronson expertly hold our hands and tell us it's okay. Their quick-tip guide, a kind of decorating for dummies, makes the point that it's our house, our apartment -- and it's supposed to be comfortable, not some kind of sterile showcase. The text starts off by letting you know that you really can do it yourself, and that you don't need a six-figure income to pull it all together. Just a little imagination. And the pictures supply a lot of energy and mix and match ideas. Best yet, all the while they're holding your hand, you never get the sense they're talking down to you. You get the sense there's no 'wrong' way to do a home. What works for you works, and that's really all that counts.
