Pottery Barn Home

really liked it! i ordered 4 of the other books on living, dining rooms, ect. and really all i needed was this book it covered everything.

Very informational and has a lot of pictures. I wish I would have bought this one before purchasing two seperate titles, because this one includes them.

This is a gorgeous book w/ tons of great ideas. You can spend hours upon hours enjoying this one - sure to be a classic!

I live in Norway, so we don't have any Pottery Barn stores here. Nevertheless I find their books very interesting and delightful- and similar furniture is to be found over here. I have purchased the Living Room book and Storage and Display before - liked them very much. I don't agree that the photos are similar - only a few and some photos are not used at all in the other books I have read. But I do agree that completely new pictures could have been used all over. No need to repeat. Full of good ideas an inspirations. This is a book I can linger over several evenings when the kids are tucked in.

Pottery Barn is my favorite store for the most gorgeous in home furnishings. Their catalogs are to die for, and this Home Design Library book is a delight. I had purchased their Storage and Display book, and it was full of such interesting ideas! When their Home book came out, I had to have it. And yes, if you see a lot of superlatives here, this book does deserve it. Although all of their designs and suggestions may not be applicable for the apartment I live in, but they do inspire you, and one day, when I have my own house, I shall realize all (or at least some) of these ideas. The visuals are breathtaking, the suggestions are practical and dreamy, and yes, you can do stuff on the budget too, you just don't shop at PB :) The book has sections on living, dining, kitchen, down to workplaces, and there are thoughtful hints and suggestions everywhere. Frankly, I do not have the kind of creativity many people do have, so I find that their ideas actually trigger my imagination and excitement. Having only browsed through their catalogs and having read one of their books before (Storage and Display), I find all the ideas very well organized. I (wisely?) had not invested in their individual series on Bedrooms, Living Rooms, etc., which may have been a little excessive. But if you want to create the perfect haven, here is a book to get you started.
