Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
Designed for the do-it-yourselfer, this new book from the McMillans (House Comfortable: The Art and Science of Comfortable Living, LJ 9/15/96) provides all the basics for home decorating, including styles, lighting, room-by-room design, and accessorizing. The Dummies format works well here; tips and pitfalls are highlighted with icons, although there are too few pictures to illustrate some points. Kitchen design would have benefited from a checklist of design considerations similar to the one provided with bathroom design. Given the popularity of the series, this is a worthwhile purchase for public libraries.
