No useful interior design advice, a lot of stories about how cleaning your house will make you happy. Save your money.

Instead of providing original ideas, the author unfortunately wastes time trying to sound like a cool pseudo-psychologist – a waste of money for us readers. For those with either apartments or houses who are on a budget and want to make their homes more beautiful and comfortable quickly, Lauri Ward’s latest book, Home Therapy, is the real deal and the book to read.

After reading some of the reviews I bought the book. Unfortunately, I feel like I wasted my money because it failed to give me what I needed: good basic ideas to make my small apartment look better and somewhat stylish. Instead, the author offers some pretty cheesy-looking ideas that would be good for a dorm room. For anyone who needs more, look elsewhere. This book should have been titled “Closet Therapy.”

Does the author think that we readers will not see through the transparency of his condesending and patronizing tone and his unoriginal ideas? Did the five star reviewers read the same book???
Mr. Gillingham Ryan takes himself way too seriously as a therapist and not seriously enough as a decorator. We readers want effective design solutions and not a lot of hype. Unfortunately, after spending hard-earned money seeking the former we are left only with the latter. Can we get a refund for the author’s malpractice?
Strongly not recommended.

I haven’t even read this book yet, but I bought it for a gift and have just received it. Without having read it – just know, there are no pictures! It is printed on that cheap kind of paper, not glossy white. I thought it was going to be the type of book that is filled with great sample images of cool designs. Its probably not worth the effort returning it, but I don’t think I will bother giving it as a gift.
By the way, I bought this book because I love the AT website. It didnt live up, I should have gave it less stars.
