I love this book. But then I love the whole monochromatic look. If you love color this book is not for you. This book gives you wonderful ideas. Her home is very soothing and elegant.

I received my copy a few days ago and couldn't put it down! This book is sooo inspiring if you like romantic decorating. It is beautifully illustrated and has many helpful how-to directions for both wealthy and budget minded individuals, but what I liked best about the book was the "romanticism" (if that's a word!) of it. Ms. Mcclintock's philosophy seems to be to DREAM and LIVE beautifully, and to express this through decorating. Her home is like a beautiful, daydream that she lives out (on a grand scale!). Although, she also explains how to achieve a similar (sometimes exact) effect while on a budget. I found this to be the best decorating book I've ever purchased, and I probably own about 30-35 books and approx. 90-100 decorating magazines!!

Jessica Maclintocks book "Simply Romantic" was a pleaure to read.The lady through the picturesque journey of her home, helps the reader to nurture and grow in the sensibility of their own aesthetics.You can learn and absorb what she is trying to teach or can just enjoy and feel the goodness of this beautiful book.An enriching experience.

Fantastic book. I loved every page. I incorporated her designs and techniques into my new house. Absolutely love her style.
