Lights! Camera ! Decorate!
TV's most popular interior designer is about to make a house call -- to your place! And all you have to do is open this book to let her in. In her fresh, fun, and conversational style, Lynette Jennings, host of Discovery Channel's top-rated television show, "Lynette Jennings Design," advises, cajoles, commiserates, pokes holes in common decorating myths -- and then guides you in creating the comfortable, stylish, and personal home you've always wanted. Along the way, Lynette:
* Takes you on never-before-seen tours of her own homes in Toronto and Atlanta, showing how she has meshed good design and personal style with the varying needs of five children and one husband
* Explains design basics in conversational, often witty copy
* Shows you how to cut through what she calls the miseries of choice and map out your own personal color scheme using her exclusive Color Charting System
* Challenges you to take some color and style risks in her motivational No Excuses Now! chapter
* Tells you how to make the most of any space using her No-Nails 7-Step Approach to Getting a Roomy Feeling
Reader Reviews
I am an almost pathologically non-visual person who simply can't think outside the box when it comes to shapes, colors, or design or decorating of any kind. It didn't take me long to find that among all the home decorating and craft shows on TV, Lynette Jennings produced by far the most helpful and instructive show for brain-dead people like me. What DID take me awhile to realize, however, is WHY she is so much better than the others. She approaches each topic just as if she were an instructor in a real-life classroom, albeit with the benefit of being physically placed in beautiful homes and rooms that she can display to the viewer. As a teacher myself, I looked at her with a sort of professional eye, and realized that she was in fact a superbly talented teacher and communicator. Her book is more of the same outstanding material you get on her show, but this time organized according to various themes, such as how to use color, how to decorate in small spaces, etc. The book is gorgeously illustrated, and includes concrete ideas that can be understood by those of us who lack her instinctive talent for the subjects of decorating and design. Highly recommended!
