Ultimate guide to floors, walls, and ceilings Build, remodel, repair

This book attempts to cover a lot of territory and is perfect for those who hate their carpet, despise their walls, and want to change their ceilings. Well illustrated and organized, it addresses the basics of flooring-including materials like wood, tiles, vinyl, and carpet-then deals with wall and ceiling treatments, where coverage is a bit cursory. While very stylish and inspiring, the book will not replace more focused works on these subjects. However, it is a good supplemental purchase for larger homeowner DIY collections. (c) Copyright 2010.
