Review by Library Journal Review

Interior designer Kemble (To Your Taste: Creating Modern Rooms with a Traditional Twist) shares her newly found enthusiasm for black-and-white color schemes in residential interiors. She includes over 350 color photographs of her own designs as well as designs that have inspired her. In addition, she packs this book with tips on paint choices, cleaning, entertaining, and more. VERDICT Whereas Janelle McCulloch's Design in Black & White is a compilation of inspiring photographs, Kemble expertly instructs readers on how and why to use a black-and-white palette in any decor. A good source for amateurs and professionals. (c) Copyright 2012. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
