Free Downloads The Complete Home Decorating Idea Book: Thousands Of Ideas For Windows, Walls, Ceilings And Floors
The Complete Home Decorating Idea Book focuses on vertical and horizontal surfaces by examining not only windows, walls and floors but also celebrates the fifth wall ceilings! Readers will discover the clever possibilities for treating surfaces of all kinds with paint, wallpaper, tile, stone, fabric and more. Beginning with a chapter on a personal favorite, window treatments, Stoehr covers all types of hard and soft window products, as well as how to approach the decoration of a large window wall. A chapter on wall coverings follows, including paint, paper, tile, stone, fabric and wood. In section three, the decorated ceiling pulls our eyes upward from the horizontal sweep we normally experience in a room, creating a sense of satisfied completion to any interior. Decorated ceilings, our interior sky is attention to detail at its best, creating drama in the dining room or a calm, restful environment in the bedroom. Finally, we look to the floor, an area frequently overlooked but is the ultimate component for finishing any room with style. All this and more, including thousands of today's top interior photographs, will be found in The Complete Home Decorating Idea Book.

Yes, timeless and elegant styles packed full in this lovely book! VERY usable solutions to many interior decorating and designing dilemas. I am taken back at the timelessness! There are many interior design books that "expire" by their yearly decor styles. Not with this lovely looker! You will be able to go back and look at something in this book two or five years from now and be able to apply it to the current period and styles. That, to me, shows how much wisdom and talent is shared through the pages of The Complete Home Decorating Idea Book!
I AM AN ASID INTERIOR DESIGNER LOCATED IN AUSTIN TEXAS. I HAVE WON 8 DESIGN AWARDS HERE IN OUR STATE. THIS BOOK IS INCREDIBLY USEFUL AS A TOOL WHEN I AM IN CLIENT MEETINGS TRYING TO CONVEY AN IDEA IN MY MIND TO MY CLIENT. IT MAKES IT SO MUCH EASIER FOR THEM TO UNDERSTAND THE DESIGN CONCEPT . IT'S BROKEN DOWN BY STYLES OF WINDOW TREATMENTS AND VERY USER FREINDLY. IT IS A GREAT TOOL AS IT IS CLOSE UP PHOTOS TO DISCUSS DETAILS. THE STYLES ARE CALLED OUT WHICH ARE UNIVERSAL, SO THE CLIENT KNOWS WHAT MY WINDOW TREATMENT COMPANY IS TALKING ABOUT. PS. ALL MY CLIENTS END UP KEEPING THE COPY I AM WORKING WITH FOR THEM. I CAN'T SAY NO.
I absolutely love this book! It offers a wealth of information and suggestions, plus lots of beautiful photos. I especially like the fact that ideas for windows, walls, ceilings and floors are all contained in one comprehensive book. How much more convenient than having to buy several different books! When the book arrived I began to have what I thought would be a brief glance, but instead found myself spending ages looking through the book - reluctant to put it down! I am so glad I came across "The Complete Home Decorating Book", because it is filled with great ideas - all presented in a very attractive manner. I know it is a resource I will use over and over. Highly recommended! For anyone particularly interested in window treatment ideas, I also highly recommend "The Window Decorating Book" (Kathleen Stoehr & Charles T. Randall), which goes into even more depth regarding just about every window treatment you could ever imagine ..... and then some!
As a window treatment designer this book shows every option (almost!!) that a homeowner could do for there home
This book is filled with great ideas for design ideas and window treatments (what we initially bought it for). The surprises for me were the number of ideas for storage which were inspired by the photos.
I extremely liked this book especially the pictures. As we decorate our home I can show my husband or contractors an idea of what I am looking for. This book really delivers thanks!
I gave this to my sister-in-law for her new house. She said she loved it and wanted to use the book to improve her house. As a gift, it went over very well.
If you are looking for a great book of ideas, this book is it!!! I love everything this author writes. She has a way of making things simple. I bought a set for my daughter for Christmas. She loves decorating. The shipping time was fabulous, almost jaw dropping. I will be looking for more books by this author. !!!AAA+
