Homeowners who find themselves gazing forlornly at their plainly dressed windows or wondering how on earth to put curtains on French doors are in luck: this volume moves thoroughly yet gently through the window-dressing process. As House Beautiful editor-in-chief Mark Mayfield says in the book's foreword, "[this] is a guidebook to working out what is right for you in your home." That's a key element of this glossy, photo-filled volume's appeal: Evelegh's clear, straightforward text does not attempt to convince readers there are any must-dos, and the photos don't dictate a particular color scheme or style (though elegant simplicity garners many more pages than does bohemian funkiness). Budget-conscious sorts shouldn't be discouraged by the semi-opulent feel of the rooms pictured throughout; in each chapter, Evelegh includes tips on saving money, such as making your own curtains from tea towels or using simple ribbons as tiebacks.« less
