"I'm a democratic design snob. I see it as my mission to help stamp out boring, unimaginative interiors. But I also love people, having fun, and what I do for a living. I think a fabulously styled... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I really liked this book. It has some fresh ideas and Thom Filicia is always rockin' the interiors he creates. The only thing I would change is to have even more photos.
Totally inspiring!

A friend gave me this book, I guess because she felt like my apartment looked like a mish-mash of things I liked, without any real connection. From the minute I opened Thom's book I realized with just a few additions and rearranging I could transform my own style into a great looking apartment that was still all about me. I recently had a dinner party and people were amazed with the transformation - I was even accused of hiring a designer to help! And the book is beautiful, so now it's on display as it well deserves to be. I've got a bunch of other single friends living in NYC and I plan to give them all this book for the holidays!
AMAZING Ideas!

So really what Thom does is pure talent - meaning sure he is not reinventing the wheel - but he has that nack of being able to pull together that crisp perfect comfort look that is impossible to do. There are plenty of great ideas that can be duplicated in this book - vivid pics and step by step processes that really lend well to being able to assist in doing it yourself. I bought several copies to give away as housewarming gifts and holiday stocking stuffers.
Beautiful Book!

This book is beautiful! The photos and graphics are fabulous and the advice is so useful! I love how Thom's designs are assembled - they are a mix of new items, antiques and collections that you already own but made so much more beautiful by the colors and surface materials. The absolute truth is that I've already stolen one of his ideas and implemented it in my new house - and it looks great!
Fabulous Book! I decorated my whole place with it!

First, I have to say that this is a gorgeous book with beautiful photographs. Even if you're not looking to redecorate, it is a wonderful book to flip through and keep on your coffee table. On top of that, it's all about using your own personal style to decorate your space. So while Thom Filicia has excellent taste and style, this book makes it about you, not about him. I just moved into a new apartment, and this book could not have been more helpful in helping me figure out how best to decorate it. I was able to use a lot of the pieces that I already own, but in ways that only made them look better. This book is a great inspiration.
