Good Design Can Change Your Life: Beautiful Rooms, Inspiring Stories
If you want to inject light, energy, and optimism into your life, making over your home—or even just a single room—is a good place to start, maintains Ty Pennington, the spiky-haired host ofExtreme Makeover: Home Editionand designer of a home goods line for Sears. With that credo in mind, Pennington sets out to help average homeowners redesign their home—and presumably their life—one room at a time. The book focuses on the three high-impact areas of the house: the bedrooms, living spaces and work spaces, and includes lists and special sections such as Balancing a Room with Art and Big Ideas for Small Spaces. The text relies heavily on personal stories and design experiences from the families that have appeared on his show. In the end, Pennington, with his off-the-wall personality, provides a solid and basic design manual.(Sept.)Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
