Book Reviews of Thom Filicia Style: Inspired Ideas for Creating Rooms You'll Love

Book Review: Beautiful Book!
Summary: 5 Stars

Not only does this book have inspired ideas, it also has attainable ideas. I live in Australia this book has opened my eyes to the possibilities that already existed around me that I took for granted and undervalued.
In most other publications, the rooms I loved were not readily or easily obtained or affordable. I couldn't just "pop over to France" for their wonderful flea markets, or attend massive outdoor markets in beautiful historic towns in America (although I would dearly love to) to get many of the "one off" treasures. I actually CAN find that lamp or rug, that chair or sofa and under Thom's direction have the confidence to mix and match fabrics, texture and colour. These things all existed and at attainable prices before but my eyes have now been opened to the new ways in which to pull a room together with no excuses!
Thom's writing style made me laugh out loud (my favourite being a room with a "toiletless view")but must disagree with his statement that he is "stupid and simple" (as in Keep it Simple Stupid)as he is neither.
I cried when I read his dedication to his mum.
A beautiful book, with beautiful rooms that I love.

Summary of Thom Filicia Style: Inspired Ideas for Creating Rooms You'll Love

"I'm a democratic design snob. I see it as my mission to help stamp out boring, unimaginative interiors. But I also love people, having fun, and what I do for a living. I think a fabulously styled place is achievable by everyone. Think of me as your decorating wingman."

Thom Filicia, whose one-of-a-kind makeover genius gained national attention through his starring roles on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy and Dress My Nest, offers the ultimate handbook for creating gorgeous interiors that showcase your unique personal style. Those who have witnessed Thom's remarkable makeovers on television already know about the much-anticipated reveal moment when the emotionally overwhelmed homeowners are struck speechless by the miracle he has created. The same miracle is now possible for your home, with the secrets and tips contained in Thom Filicia Style.

With his trademark wit and friendly voice, Thom deconstructs how he works his magic and provides pages of invaluable advice, inspiration, before-and-after photos, case studies, floor plans, and product information. His approach will help you elevate your personal aesthetic by strategizing the best ways to make the most out of every space. From his work on a Manhattan loft to a suburban family home, Thom brings a fresh and invigorating vision to the way we live -- a vision that can apply to homes and decorating budgets of any size.

Demystifying the decorating process one step at a time, Thom has filled this guide with everything you need to create the perfect interior. Thom Filicia Style is like having the designer himself on hand to take care of all the details.
