Worth listening to before you reno or shop for furnishings!
This book is for you if you feel uncomfortable in your own home.
My house, done to my husband's taste, is far from the home I see on HGTV. It is painted lots of black and brown. I was feeling uncomfortable with my house.
Listening to this, I could see why.
The audiobook tells you in detail what colors go with which rooms and what percentage of the color scheme. It also shows me how much my home's interior design is against that color scheme. LoL
Books like this tend to be like dictionaries, but this one was an exception and pleasant to listen to. You should listen to it before redecorating a room or going to Ikea or Home Goods. I highly recommend it!

Changing rooms
There is so much to consider when redesigning your home. I have been watching your home made perfect and it inspired me to look for more information on the subject of interior design. The audiobook was full of simple and really useful tips on how to go from an empty space and turn it into a room that you feel relaxed and happy in. I understood the importance of colour before, but i didnt really appreciate the use of different textures to add depth and character to a space.

I can't wait to put my ideas into reality!
I found myself very obsessed with house interior Instagram content, and I could spend many hours just scrolling through the internet.
I aim to buy my own house next spring, so I've got to ensure my interior decoration is on point.
This is an excellent resource for beginners who want to transform their homes quickly and affordably.
Thanks to this book, I now have loads of ideas to create spectacular cosy rooms that look like they were designed by a professional but with a personal touch.

Loved it!
Very helpful and the phrase "bleak to beautiful" and "following my own style" in the title drew me in. I really enjoyed the concept of using a vision board to discover my particular style and make my home "function optimally" or work for ME while staying within my means. Virginia Scidmore is obviously an expert, and I appreciated how she broke down complex concepts into simple terms that anyone could understand. She said things like, "Don't try to copy everything you see on HGTV that you like because your home won't feel like you and it won't reflect your personal style." in an incredibly straightforward manner. adore it This is a comprehensive manual for creating a lovely, warm, and intimate place at home.

A Whole New Space!
My home was desperately in need of a revamp but, when it comes to comfortable yet stylish, I don't really have a natural eye for these things and wasn't sure how or where to start.
Over the years, my home had become more cluttered and less reflective of my personality as I'd hung on to momentos from lost loved ones and out-of-date possessions. - It was more than time for a rethink!
This audiobook helped me develop my own vision and create a warm welcoming and airy space that has become the envy of many visitors, And it wasn't hard at all.
Virginia Scidmore's guidance and expertise gave me the skills and confidence to create a space that reflects my personality. The book contains a wealth of easy-to-embrace ideas and tips and its tone leaves you feeling as though you have a friend in your corner cheering you on. Megan Meyer does a fab job with the narration - read in an engaging and encouraging manner at a perfect speed.
This has been a fascinating, fun and highly rewarding experience. I'm so glad I discovered this audiobook.
