Customer Reviews:Average Customer Rating: Best of Met Home, Best Home Design Book For all of us who are devastated at the closing of Metropolitan Home magazine, this book is a little consolation prize now that there isn't that monthly treat of the magazine's arrival. It is quintessential Met Home Modern, but with a wonderful overlay of spectacular and helpful designer quotes. Each chapter highlights a specific area of the home, and each is filled with extraordinary yet "doable" ideas to freshen most any home--from a small apartment to a huge house. GREAT gift! Glamour: Making It Modern Love this book!!!!! It is fresh and beautiful and inspiring--truly an amazing resource. The loss of Metropolitan Home magazine is a huge disappointment; fortunately this book offers some consolation for the magazine's loyal readers. Been there. Done that. I will admit that there are a few (3 to be exact) fireplace pages that are interesting, one of which wasn't mentioned in the fireplace section of the book. I took the words "making it modern" to mean just that, but was greatly fooled unless "modern" means combing the attic for what you can find from yester-year and combining it with a few new pieces. "Making it personal" would have been a more appropriate title. The section on bedrooms appears to be page after page of those old items with a few modern pieces thrown in to produce an assortment of overcrowded rooms. When I read "modern" I believe that NOW is what it means and not 'today's guide for estate sale shopping.' Sorry. My understanding of "modern" in decorating indicates a sense of the future, sleek furnishings and perhaps even a tribute to less-is-more but certainly not more-of-yesterday. Glamour, Making it modern is true GLAMOUR!!! This is truly an elegant book. The photography is spectacular and the subject matter does intrigue the mind for your own home Beautiful book This book is lovely. The photographs are beautiful. The text offers an inspiring point of view on Glamour and personal style. Very pleased. | | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
