    I will keep this book in my library

    This book gives you a lot of basic ideas for updating different spaces in your home. It also explains the difference in different products. definetly a good book for someone that does not have a lot of knowledge in flooring, windows,and materials. It even explained framing! If you dont know how to do things this book will give you the basics and also ideas but you will still need to do the research before starting the project. My favorite part of the book is that it combines fun ideas and pictures with real information.
