Latest Book Purchase: "Colors For Your Home." VERY handy!

Ok, if you're thinking about PAINTING a room in your home but are struggling with selecting the RIGHT color, this book, "Colors For Your Home" definitely helps! Even though it's not a new book, I bought it this weekend and am already excited to start a new painting project!


I have to say, I REALLY love that there are more than 300 paint formulas featured in this book that are often used by interior designers. (I'm sure will make your choice a lot easier). The book is brought to you by House Beautiful Magazine so I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

  16. I bough this on sale at Barnes and Noble earlier this year. Definitely a steal, because it's a great book! House Beautiful also has one out about fabrics that I'm sure is just as great.
