Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
Interior designer Dennis provides a wealth of information covering every aspect of interiors—e.g., lighting, floors, plumbing, and even cleaning products—and outlines the available choices with detailed explanations of how each benefits the environment. She includes an overview of sustainable landscaping and new construction, samples of the work of other interior designers, and lists of organizations, products, and manufacturers. Whereas Janet Sobesky's Natural Style is aimed at do-it-yourselfers, Dennis's audience is fellow designers; still, both groups of readers will benefit from the plentiful and practical advice here.
