Color and Creativity will bring these illustrations to life !!
This book is truly a blessing. I am not an interior designer by any means but I just enjoy seeing beautiful homes decorated nicely. I never owned a home but one day hope to before I pass a way. This book takes me into a fantasy world, where I can walk into different homes and see different rooms with beautiful items inside and I get the chance to decorate them myself. I love getting out my colored pencils and gel pens, love working my magic on the living rooms and kitchens especially. I enjoy the bathrooms as well. The author did such a great job when it came to making the illustrations. Everything looks so real and all that is needed is some color and creativity to bring the rooms to life. Highly recommend if you are teenager or adult who enjoys coloring the interior of homes and enjoy intricate and detailed drawings and the drawings are very whimsical, intricate, and detailed. Can be a bit challenging at times. Make sure you are using either colored pencils (high quality ones that are sharpened well) or gel pens (high quality) please do NOT use markers by any means. Stay away from the alcohols based markers also. Even the ones with fine tip due to bleeding as the author didnât put a blank page Inside each coloring page to protect the pages. This is possibly the only flaw. You can use a paper under your coloring page if you want, then possibly try using fine tip markers. I still wouldnât use the bigger markers. This book is really better suited for coloring pencils or gel pens. Anyway, great book, highly recommend !

Great Young House Love inspired designs â printed on both sides of the page
I’ve read the Young House Love blog for years and was happy to find out that Sherry and John Petersik were collaborating with illustrator Joan Borawski to develop a coloring book based on interior design. I’ve found their blog to be both fun to read and an inspiration for changes I have made around both my current and last house.The designs in the book are wonderful. They are clean line drawings that are fun and easy to color. In addition to the actual coloring pages, there are also some hints for interior design and some exercise pages for trying out some of those hints. Most of the designs are detailed and a few of them include intricate elements to color. The designs show a wide variety of rooms, a couple of outside views, as well as some furniture and other design collage style pages.The book is printed on both sides of the perforated page and 15 of the designs spread across two pages. What is great is that the designs stop right at the perforations and pick up on the next page at the same spot. It makes it easy to color the whole design without having to struggle coloring into the binding area.I have a couple of coloring books by this publisher and the paper, binding, and the printing of this book are quite different from those. While I like the prior books, this one steps up a level in publishing. It’s a real pleasure to color in.This is what I experienced while coloring in this book and testing the paper with my coloring medium.61 pages of designs inspired by Young House Love (not including title, intro or exercise pages.)Printed on both sides of the pagePaper is heavyweight, white, slightly smooth, and perforatedSewn binding. You can remove pages in whole by cutting the binding; however, I would simply remove pages at the perforations.Designs do not merge past the perforations.Alcohol-based markers bleed through the page. They are the only wet medium that I tested which did bleed through the page.Water-based markers, India ink pens and gel pens did not bleed through or leave shadows on the back of the page. Gel pens did require additional drying time.Colored pencils work well with this paper. Even though the paper is slightly smooth, it grips color really well. I was able to layer and blend easily with both wax and oil based pencils.In addition to the copy of this coloring book that I purchased on Amazon, the publisher sent me a sample advanced reader copy of this book.

great coloring book and concept
I absolutely love this coloring book and the concept! Beautiful drawings. However, with it being printed double-sided I cannot use my markers because it bleeds through. I have to use my coloring pencils and thus I have less color options to work with.

Fun and Educational
This book is so well done. I love that the first few pages teaches you about color and gives design tips. I find the extra direction helpful. The paper is good quality and the designs are amazing. I wish the pages were not two sided, but that is my only complaint, and know it was done for cost purposes. It does have SO MANY pages. You will not get bored with this book!

Très beau

This is a high quality book. The paper is a good weight and the images are of a consistently high quality throughout, with a real range of accessories, rooms and buildings – haberdasheries, kitchens, bedrooms, living rooms, plants, books, cups, sea shells, fruit. Really worth the price – and you can’t say that for other colouring books so easily on amazon – and I am pleasantly surprised. Would recommend!

What a pity that Amazon doesn’t care enough to package my book properly. The glue from the envelope stuck to the book.Other thank that, I love the book
