From
Publishers WeeklyIf you want to inject light, energy, and optimism into your life, making over your home—or even just a single room—is a good place to start, maintains
Ty Pennington, the spiky-haired host of
Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and designer of a home goods line for
Sears. With that credo in mind, Pennington sets out to help average homeowners redesign their home—and presumably their life—one room at a time. The book focuses on the three high-impact areas of the house: the bedrooms, living spaces and work spaces, and includes lists and special sections such as Balancing a Room with Art and
Big Ideas for Small Spaces. The text relies heavily on personal stories and
design experiences from the families that have appeared on his show. In the end, Pennington, with his off-the-wall personality, provides a solid and basic design manual. (Sept.)
