Look around your home. Wouldn't it be fun to spruce it up a little? To add a dash of spice and style to the décor? Head on over to the library, because we have just purchased over thirty new books dealing with all aspects of interior decoration.
Explore the theory of design with Patterns of Home by Max Jacobson or 77 Habits of Highly Creative Decorators by Sarah Lynch. Or, get right down to brass tacks with Impatient Decorator by Glenna Morton or Lynnette Jennings Straight Talk on Decorating. Investigate color and texture with Annie Sloan's Color Schemes, The Paint Effects Bible by Kerry Skinner, or Chuck Fischer's Wallcoverings. Perhaps you will emulate the California Colonial or the Red Tile Style of America's Spanish revival architecture documented in books by Elizabeth Jean McMillian and Arrol Gellner.
Redoing the kitchen or the bath? We have Dream Kitchens by Wanda Janowski and The Bathroom Idea Book by Andrew Wromer, among others. How about some new curtains? Turn to The Encyclopedia of Window Fashions. Redecorate on a shoestring with Trade Secrets from Use What you Have Decorating by Lauri Ward, or go all out with Sheer Opulence by Nicholas Haslam.
Whatever your tastes and budget, the San Marino Public Library now has the interior decorating books for you!
