Customer Reviews

Great Inspiration!
This is a great book for the typical homeowner who doesn't know where to start or even how much to tackle for their 'curb appeal' update. The book is full of great ideas & I especially enjoyed the "before & after" aspect which helps readers see just exactly how drastic a change can take place with a little paint/new trim & knowledgable guidance.

It's essential to point out that 'skilled' designer intervention was involved in getting these homes to the finish line & looking so great.

Hopefully the average homeowner who lacks any design gifting can take these ideas & their own common sense & apply them in their own situation. Some people feel they have zero creative ability so those in that category may still find this book comes up short in that they'll see all kinds of make-overs...but still need to hire someone to 'design' their makeover.

Another point to raise is that some ideas provided in the book won't work for every situation...such as the suggestion of painting one's vinyl siding. This would not work well with erratic temperature changes in colder weather locations in the country.

Ultimately the book offers creative inspiration to any homeowner looking to find ways of improving their home's curb appeal & various ways to do it.

I highly recommend the book on that note...because the intention appears to be just that ...to provide inspiration...& that objective is certainly met with success.

Love the show, love the book
This book is full of photos, ideas, suggestions and advice for improving the look of the outside of your home - just like the show. Ideas range from those you can do yourself to those that require a professional. Very well written. I will refer to it often.

Love the show, love the book.
I really enjoyed this book, it's full of beautiful pictures that gives you tons of ideas. The book also has enough details to help you recreate the pictures. The chapters are organized in such a way that depending on your needs you can just go to that chapter (on color, etc) and get what you need. All around good book for ideas.
