8 DESIGN BOOKS TO INSPIRE AND GUIDE

 

"Speed Decorating"
By Jill Vegas (The Taunton Press, $21.95). If your time is tight and your budget even tighter, you might be in the mood for a practical guide that shows easy ways to transform your space. Enter New York City professional stager Jill Vegas, who has tips and trade secrets for anyone looking for quick projects that make a big difference. Vegas encourages readers to be their own interior decorator, but also points out when a pro needs to be called in. Her book details her seven principles of decorating and she shares the five musts for a great-looking entry and dining room. She also smartly offers "mini boot camps" and "magic-wand makeovers" on how to create a candle display or a bombshell bookcase in a weekend.
