I wish Tricia Guild would get out of town! December 12, 2002 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I was not impressed with this book, and I like color. The text was not useful. If there are no tips or they are not informative, I will still buy a book if it has beautiful pictures. However, I was not creatively inspired by this book. I think the design choices are boring. I'm glad I did not buy this book. Other resource: Another of Tricia Guild's books titled Think Color is so much better. Her bold use of color in this book is both refreshing and inspiring.

BEAUTIFUL! , this book encouraged me to transform my old house without necessarily changing the beauty of it. Tricia Guild made me dare to bring new colors to my house and giving my family a bright place to live. THEY LOVED IT! .
Delicious book July 28, 1998 11 out of 14 found this review helpful
Much better than her other books in her use of bold, imaginative color. Not for the timid. Don't worry about the urban bit, good design is welcome everywhere :-)
