Informative Outlook On Gemstones.......1998-04-14
This book is very factual, and its non-technical writing, makes it an excellent book for the hobbiest, or collector and yet still it maintains the standards for even the professional gem trade. If used as a guide, it is sure to be helpful in the selection of gems.
This book is certain to educate and inspire the beginner with confidence in starting to collect gems. I highly recommend the reading (purchase) of this book. The photographs are excellent, full color, the true representation of the gemstones' is brought to life.

Customer Reviews:
Tons of ideas in this book! .......2007-10-12
Are you the type of decorator that needs to see photos of actual decorating ideas?....or (by contrast) are you the type of decorator that needs alot of writing to describe decorating ideas?
Hum?
...Well, if you are the type of "visual" decorator that loves to look at photos of decorating ideas ,in order to be inspired, then this is a GREAT book to own!
I am a visual learner, and I love to look at photos to be inspired when I re-decorate, so this book was an amazing find for me.
The title of this book says: "750 decorating ideas ", and the title is indeed, absolutely correct!
PS: I also purchased a similar book called "House Beautiful's 750 decorating ideas", and I loved that book also. Both are truly inspirational for the visual learners, like me.
Loved it!.......2006-05-19
I will definitely refer back to this book often. It is full of ideas, advice, suggestions and inspiration for all rooms and all areas of decorating. Fun, creative and inspriring! Not a how-to.

Home Design from the Inside Out takes an unusual approach to home design. Author Robin Lennon does away with the standard pictures of lavish interiors and exteriors for you to duplicate in your home, and instead focuses on determining which designs, arrangements, colors, and decorative details will work best for your home, regardless of current trends. Lennon shows you how to make your house feel like home by offering a unique, self-empowering look at home design that places the greatest importance on your tastes, needs, and preferences.

Home Design From The Inside Out/Robin Lennon.......1999-11-17
This is a wonderful book to help you become self aware. There are exercises that you can do to help you determine who you really are & what you really like. There are a broad range of subjects covering this book such as Feng Shui, & Color Therapy. Awesome book!
Read it and decorate your way!.......1998-09-02
I bought this book at a time I was interest in Feng Shui and found out that it really isn't about that afterall - and only one chapter is devoted to that falsehood (as she interprets it - I do believe in the true Chineese Feng Shui - not new age). The rest of the book is very informative for we decorators who believe that you should decorate your home for yourself and its occupants - not for the neighbor. One must be true to oneself and that is what Lennon hopes you aspire too. Peace!
artistic and instructive.......1998-02-10
Finally not just another book about what you should do with your looks or your life. For me, Home Design From the Inside Out made sense of everyday life. Not extravagent lifestyles, or impossible metaphysical demands, but real life, creative, processes which I can practice. Robin Lennon doesn't simplify or reduce these time honored ideas, but uniquely invisions them for how we live today. I highly recomend this book for artists and designers and for anyone looking to revitalize their life design.
Feng Shui Bamboozle.......1997-12-30
If only there was truth in advertising -- then this book would be subtitled "How to sell the public just what it wants to hear." It's just another way to make a profit in New Age circles. This book is another pre-digested New Age primer passed off as the wisdom of Chinese thought. If you are credulous enough to buy and believe books like this, then you obviously aren't a trained artist, interior specialist, or mental health professional, and your idea of "Chinese culture" only goes as far as where you can get good take-out food.
Find a "home for your heart" with the help of Robin Lennon!.......1997-06-04
Robin Lennon must be a very put-together woman! Her advice goes far beyond where to place furniture and which colors go well with others. After reading HOME DESIGN FROM THE INSIDE OUT I found the courage to throw away ancient artifacts from my youth and teenage years that should have gone in the trash long ago! I never thought a book about interior design would be so helpful in my personal life. I learned how to "create a home for my heart", and express my soul and creativity through my surroundings. Open ANY page, and you'll find yourself shaking your head "yes", she's right, I just needed some one to put it to me like that. It's only $14.95, and nearly 300 pages long! Forget that new CD and BUY THIS BOOK

Book Description
Combining the popular craft subject of mosaics in a home and garden make-over theme, this book includes original step-by-step projects and inspirational examples showing how to create mosaics using pebbles and other natural materials.
Mosaic-making is the craft craze of recent years, and understandably so. Although the results may look complicated, the basic technique is easy to master, allowing even beginners to create original decorative pieces for the home. Talented designer Ann Frith has drawn on the ancient tradition of pebble mosaic to devise 12 contemporary projects using pebbles and other natural materials such as broken slate, flint and glass.
Traditionally used as outdoor decoration on garden paths and floors, Ann also shows how it can be incorporated in the home--in entrance ways, conservatories, bathrooms or on fire hearths. In addition to the detailed projects, inspirational examples of pebble mosaic in both new and historical settings, and drawings by the author showing further ideas and colorways, set the scene for further experimentation.

A No Frills, Filler-Free Guide to Painting Your House.......2002-03-30
This book's unusual encyclopedia-like format is not what the DIY painter might expect upon first glance. Subjects are listed alphabetically("Acrylic"..."Brushes"..."Painting as a Profession"...etc.)with one or more brief yet comprehensive paragraphs under each subject, accompanied by photos and illustrations. There are a *lot* of subjects covering almost anything you would want to know about painting a house; yet this arraingment allows for a quick reference to a particular subject without having to consult an index or otherwise wade through text to find what you want. Especially helpful is a second table of contents, "Do the Job Right", which takes you through a job step by step from "Prep Work" to "Clean up" with page numbers taking you to the necessary subject heading for each step. My only gripe with this book is that the publishers didn't see fit to keep it in print. But if you can pick one up used or at your local library, you can't go too far wrong.

Book Description
Between 1618 and 1648, a number of Scottish expatriates appeared at the major centres of Habsburg dynastic power: Madrid, Brussels, and the peripatetic court of the Holy Roman Emperor. In dealing with their activities, this book challenges the notion that France or the northern Low Countries invariably provided the country's strongest continental connections during the early modern period.
The first part of the text relates to the Spanish Habsburg lands, while the second introduces several military entrepreneurs who rose to prominence in the service of the eastern, `Austrian' branch of the dynasty. From the mid-1630s, most of this diverse group became allies, in promoting the cause of the Scottish-born, former `Winter Queen' of Bohemia, Elizabeth Stuart, and her family.
