Your dream bathroom Stylish solutions for the home

To find your style, most design magazines and books advise leafing through print publications, designating looks and styles that you prefer. Stop--and save money on decor. Because under one book spine are all the photographs and room settings necessary to pick the right look, thanks to careful pruning by House Beautiful editors. The actual advice is a bit on the lightweight side, though it does cover the right subjects: working with professionals, designers, architects, contractors, bids and contracts, budgeting and finance. Sidebars, called Style Notes, add practical information, from counsel on fixture choices to a plug for molding, among others. Yet the stand-out attraction, without doubt, is the many different visuals to drool over. --Barbara Jacobs Copyright 2006 Booklist
