Editorial Review:

Think natural, loosen up, pare down, color in, and above all, live well! These are the key words of the new country living, and no home better exemplifies this wonderful philosophy than decorator Tricia Guild's Tuscan farmhouse. A tour around this warm and wonderful home is the centerpiece in a richly photographed look at what defines the best contemporary design. The first section, "A New Attitude," pinpoints the main features of this current approach. Then, the intimate glimpse into Guild's private world, as well as four other houses, spotlights her love of natural materials, her uncluttered arrangements, her loose approach to fabric, and bold use of color--as well as the inspiration she draws from the surrounding landscape. Rooms glow with brightness; her kitchen bursts with fresh produce; inside and out, tables are laid with embroidered cloths, jugs of garden flowers, vibrant mismatched plates, and delicious local foods. Finally, "Living and Entertaining" is an exhortation to fill your world with pleasure, and to bring exuberance not only to your décor and design, but to all you do. None of the ideas is expensive, and every one is innovative, easy, and life enhancing!

25 Beautiful Decorating Ideas for CRAFTERS, HOSTS! 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

Actual title is "Furnish With Fabric: Over 25 Beautiful Ideas For Decorating Your Home." Photographs are by David Montgomery.
Tricia Guild, a talented interior designer, has created this guidebook of home projects with three requirements in mind: Each one should be quick, easy, and stunningly stylish! Windows, beds, tables, sofas, and chairs are covered (no pun intended) here!
Some of these projects don't need any sewing at all! A great read for home crafters, as a gift item, or a "coffee table" book for discussion and entertaining party guests.

Colorful and Lively and Fun... 4 out of 5 stars.
13 of 13 people found this review helpful.

Looking with the other reviews written, I do see their sense of frustration in wanting more practical ways to decorate a home, however I felt it needed to be seen in a postive light as well. It is a very artful book, and I don't believe the author intended it to be a "How To" as much as it was intended to be lively, inspiring, "get-you-to-think" type of book. It has beautifully tipped-in pages, and is a very high quality book. I am a graphic artist, and I bought it for the book's design as I did for its content. If you would like a wonderful coffee-table type book, as well as some inspiration for decorating, you should enjoy this book!

Editorial Review:

Cool Colors aims to show how to develop a personalised color palette to use at home, to bring more passion, beauty and individuality into your life.

Colorful Accessories 2 out of 5 stars.
11 of 11 people found this review helpful.

Like other reviewers, I wondered, where are the "Rooms to Live In" mentioned in the book title.

The photographs in the book are beautiful, clear and quite colorful. Unfortunately, many of the photographs are closeups of things like coffee cups, floral arrangements, pillows, food and clothing, but very few shots of the rooms itself.

If you randomly turned to a page, you would probably get a closeup of something IN the room, but probably no large pictures of the room itself. If you look at the books' cover, you will see two small photos to the side of closeups of coffee cups and flowers, this is an example of the type of photos this book comprises.

Don't get me wrong, the color in the book is really good, the closeups great, BUT it is not a book of rooms. If this was a book of colorful accessories I would give it a 4.5 stars, but because it is supposed to be a decor book and is not, I'm giving it 2 stars. The decor style of the rooms is predominantly modern, contemporary and maybe a retro kind of style.

I think a more appropriate title would have been How to Accessorize your Home with Color or if they had left out the "Rooms to Live In" subtitle it would be fine. I would suggest you check it out of the library before purchasing to see if this is what you are looking for in a decor book.

A gorgeous, inspiring book for anyone... 5 out of 5 stars.
8 of 10 people found this review helpful.

...especially flower lovers. The photographs are stunning and visually delicious; the quotes fitting. The commentary is appropriately minimalist, so as not to distract from the images, it seems. I love this book -- simply beautiful.

Beautiful book, Very Inspirational! 5 out of 5 stars.

For the Painters out there who love the world of colour this book is a must have.

On the fence..... 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

This is a great coffee table book .... the photographs are beautiful, the quotes fitting and Ill probably get many years of enjoyment out of looking at it from time to time. However, I thought this book (through its photos) was going to give me some ideas on simple flower arranging and container choices. Instead, the photos are of macro shots of flowers, so close up that you really cant see the detail of the containers at all. What this book has done is given me some insight on some different flowers to ask for when I go to the market to pick them up, or plants to ask the nursery about when I pick out flowers for my garden next spring. Anyone who enjoys flowers will love this book, just don't get it with the hopes that you will get any arranging ideas from it. All in all, a gorgeous book that puts me in a cheery mood just by looking at it :)

Editorial Review:

The author of "Tricia Guild's Country Color" and "Tricia Guild's in Town" turns her attention to wonderful ways to make the most of the vibrant beauty of flowers. 75 color photos.

Editorial Review:

Tricia Guild is known for her bold and original fabric and wallpaper collections and her extraordinary ability to use colour and pattern in decoration. She is inspired by fabrics, techniques, motifs and designs from all over the world and from every period of history - brocades and damasks from the Far East; the rich history of botanical illustration and flower painting; checks, plaids and stripes from northern Europe; vibrant ethnic prints from India and Central America; painterly designs from Chinese and European porcelain; the bold abstracts and geometric patterns of contemporary painters. Today, there has probably never been more popular interest in pattern. After what seems like decades of white walls, pattern on wallpaper and fabric are making a timely comeback in our interiors. As one of the world's leading designers, Tricia Guild is in the vanguard of this exciting pattern revival.Indeed, pattern has always been vital to her way of working, second only to her bold and innovative approach to colour. Her masterful mixing of large and small-scale patterns in a variety of contrasting colours, finishes and textures, is renowned throughout the world, and can be seen in detail in the specially designed roomsets that illustrate this book. Taking traditional motifs or designs and giving them a modern twist, finding surprising contemporary uses for forgotten techniques such as flock printing and applique, and reinterpreting the ikats, crewelwork, quilting and other techniques seen on travels everywhere from New York to India are vital to her way of working. This book celebrates pattern in all of its wonderful diversity.
