A pretty book but not that useful. Just found a brand-new Better Homes and Gardens book on fireplaces, which I like much better. The BH&G book has handsome photos but lots of tips on making over a dated fireplace (which we have to do), as well as choosing and positioning a new fireplace (which we also plan to do in our master suite). The Better Homes and Gardens Fireplace book shows a wider range of room and furnishings styles than this House Beautiful book, in my opinion.

Exactly what I was looking for… a “visual portfolio” to help me decide what I wanted in a fireplace for the setting I have. Lots of photographs depicting every style from rustic to contemporary or traditional, and all in tastefully decorated spaces that are just as inspiring. This book provided me with more than enough visual information to put together a plan of my own, and I know I will refer back to it for further decorating ideas.

The attractive and varied photographs of examples shown within a room setting make this is a very good reference and a valuable addition to any design library. See my review for the 1999 hardcover edition.

British West Indies review sounded like they were inhaling some fireplace smoke.
