I haven't had a chance to really put this book to use yet. Most of the styles are very modern and my taste is a little more traditional and "old world". I am not sorry that I bought the book, but I don't think I will be able to use it like I had hoped.

I enjoy watching the show, but I didn't get the same things out of the book. Basically the book recaps how they acheived their version of the designer room - something that is fun to watch but not so interesting to read about.
