Perhaps my expectations were too high because this book has such a luscious cover. The design themes are drawn from nature, and the nature photos are gorgeous. But, I'm not trying to grow the perfect dogwood tree, I'm trying to, as the title suggests, create a dogwood-inspired room. The nature photos would make a lovely coffee table book, but they occupied space that could have better been used to show alternate angles of the featured rooms and more rooms. Actually, alternate shots were used in some places, such as an aquamarine door that is offset by an orange flower. Showing this door from multiple angles in different sections of the book did not enhance my experience nor the benefit I hoped to derive from the book. There are many pictures of ornate architectural features in empty houses. I love old houses and over-the-top details. But unless I win the $250,000 it would take to recreate that majesty it's unlikely that those pictures will help me create a colorful home. It just depresses me that I don't have the resources to live in a home with wainscoted stairways and hand-painted ceiling murals. Ironically, many of these architecture photos are monochromatic--wood and cream. Trust me when I say that modern Americans have proven their ability to paint off-white walls and place wood and beige furniture into those rooms. This book was a missed opportunity to give them the confidence to experiment with nature's other color options. Bottom line: some gorgeous photos, some nice rooms, some tips, some drool-worthy woodwork, but not the motivational treasure I'd hoped I'd found.… (más)
