The detailed instructions are great!! I really appreciate the wonderfully refreshing ideas …
I’m loving this book! The detailed instructions are great!! I really appreciate the wonderfully refreshing ideas that the author shares and that they are not the typically boring DIY ideas found in other books with the “same o same o” ideas, filled with fluff and pretty pictures. When I buy a book with pretty pictures and decorating ideas then that’s what I expect to get, but when I buy a book of how tos and DIY then that’s what I expect and to actually be able to follow the instructions. So, well done and kudos to this author for bringing us a book with lots of new and creative ideas to create for our homes, with easy to follow instructions that I can actually do myself and I am inspired to do!!

Perfect DIY book for makers with style!
This book is gorgeous – as is every project contained within in it. Every creative, maker, DIY-er and house dweller (so yeah that’s pretty much everyone) should have a copy of this. I really love how the author broke it down by room, so you can really personalize every space in your home! It’s the perfect marriage of design, style and DIY. I can’t wait to begin my first project – the hardest part is going to be choosing which one to start with!

For the very crafty
This book is visually very pretty and the projects within are very cool. However, this is for a more advanced DIY’er and not for beginners. The directions need to be followed rather meticulously in order for the projects to be successful. It has some really cool ideas though.

I absolutely love this book
I absolutely love this book! Not only is it incredibly beautiful and inspiring to flip through, it’s well written with easy to use, even if your not an avid DIYer. It showcases DIY projects that are current and on trend. You won’t be disappointed. This will be a coffee table staple !

Beautiful book
Beautiful book with well written projects and attractive photos. Great for DIYers and crafters who want to replicate the projects or just use them as a jumping off point for creative endeavors.

I won’t be doing any of these
Great title and this stuff may be a success for an extremetly crafty person. I just wasn’t excited about the projects. The looked pretty decent, but I think I expected a more polished crafted look. I just don’t think that the time it takes to do the crafts is equally to the beauty of the finished product. I bought the kindle version, so it doesn’t take up a ton of space.

Very Beginner
I suppose this might be great book for people with little to no DIY experience. Serious DIYers (like sew your own clothes and remodel your own home types), save your money.
