Customer Review: i can't say enough great things about this book. great as a reference guide and fabulous inspiring photos. so sad the domino mag is no longer as i would love a series of these books. really one of my favorite design books (and i have quite a few).
Customer Review: The book has a lot of valuable content, but is definitely for the beginner. Most of the projects in the book recommend you purchase a "kit" and then walk you though an install.

Customer Review: This book is only for two kinds of people: those who care about the materials in their home and/or those who missed this part of the parent/child experience. If bleach, any all-purpose cleaner or just baking soda/vinegar are your steadfast weapons of choice for housework, this will be a waste of... more info
