This is a great book,with many great ideas. My disappointment lies in the claim of "complete". It is short on construction details, and that is a true disappointment. If it had more instruction on creating the treatments it would be a 5 star book. I do love the roman shades with differnt fabrics for each pleat, but I didn't want to buy the book for one picture.How about a second edition with more instructions?
I was very disappointed with this book,I was expecting to see actual pictures of the windowtreatments.....not sketches.
I love the pictures and ideas inside. I'm looking for window treatments and this has lots of ideas. Look forward to trying to make some soon.
this is a wonderful book to browse. Instructions are there for unusual window treatments, though not actual patterns. very inspirational!
