Celebrity Bedroom Retreats: Professional Designer Secrets for 40 Star Bedrooms
Customer Review: Finally, a decorating book that does reveal
the kind of things designers never tell you. This is more than just a beautiful book showing beautiful bedrooms that belong to the beautiful people, it really does show all the little tricks that make the rooms click. The best parts are the "make the look" boxes and the fact that every significant item in the rooms is identified by either the maker or the seller, which is referenced in a section in the back. The fun parts are the celebrities - maybe it's not surprise that Wesley Snipes has giant-sized mirrors all over his bedroom, but who would think that Joan Rivers would have such elegant taste? For the record I liked her bedroom suite the best. Now those freestanding fireplaces they have at Home Depot are calling my name.
Customer Review: Ugh! What taste? Where is it?
Don't expect to get anything useful out of this book other than a good chuckle at all money and no taste. Unbelievably poor.
Not only that but all the stars are two bit or less celebrities.
The rooms are dated and in hideous taste, the stars are obscure, the design details are revolting and these are 40 rooms I would never want to live in.
Admittedly some are less repulsive than others but on the whole, don't spend the money.
Not a great deal of bio on the celebs, this book is useful as a curiosity only.
