CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Scant resource guide -
I bought this book because it has the exact look I want for my bathrooms--traditional bridge faucets, vintage type toilets, white tiles. I got few ideas for my dressing room layouts. But where s the resource guide for all those wonderful faucets? I don't think Pottery Barn sells those? I agree you'd get the same info and design inspiration from their catalogs. Not very practical.
- The home of teak outdoor furnitures
, simply quality bar stools
Not practical, but very inspiring -
I just got this book and I have to say that I really enjoy it. That being said, I do agree with some of the negative reviews here also, insofar that people are unhappy with amount of practical ideas it presents. I would say, if you are remodeling your bathroom and are looking for a how-to book, decor-wise, then this is probably not the book for you. But if you just enjoy getting new design ideas and just being creatively stimulated, then you should definitely purchase this - the imagery is gorgeous, and it has already given me loads of ideas for my own house as a whole. So: not perfect, but still worth buying!
Pottery Barn store -
This book is like walking into the Pottery Barn store, so this should be a catalogue instead of an ideas book. Lots of white. The bathrooms are comfortable looking, but not very original. I got more out of Japanese Bath book than this one.
Worse than their catalog--there's nothing you can get -
This is my first review, but I have to let other people know what they are buying.
We are building an addition which includes a master bathroom and a half bath. My husband is a industrial designer and I'm a graphic designer, so we are designing them ourselves. We also subscribe to Metropolitan Home magazine, so our sense of design is up to date and we know what good looking bathrooms are(designed by well known and expensive professionals)
I've bought several books at Lowe's and borrowed some at the Library. Since there is no pottery barn store where I live, I ordered it online. Big mistake. It was even worse than the Pottery barn bed & bath catalog. The bathrooms pictured in the book are all huge. Most of them are as big as the master bedroom. And I agree with another reviewer, no typical tub or shower. In order to get those look, you should expect to sepend at least $40000(material and labor) if you have the space. Although it looks good, people don't recommend hardwood floor in bathrooms(even worse with freestanding tubs!). Color schemes look all the same, woodworks are all white, You'll get few ideas from this book. There's no examples of half bath or powder room. The products in the examples are mostly pottery barn, and there's a section on how to buy furnitures for your bathroom. I'm going to try to return this book if they accept.
Please don't buy this book, go to your local library instead.
Great selections of branded hammocks at
- surely the ultimate teak furniture store!
Best of the Pottery Barn books -
I have read/used three of the Pottery Barn books listed in order of my opinion of them: Baths, Living Rooms, and Bedrooms. Baths was very good, with beautiful photographs, interesting and innovative ideas, and some useful design advice. Most of the book provided a several page showcase for an individual bath with discussion of what made it special.
Living rooms was OK. It's content was more canned, but it still had some inspiration and enough ideas that were useful that although I would not put it amongst the best such books, it was worth an hour or two to browse.
Bedrooms hit the bottom of the list for me. The content seemed especially canned. The ideas were not fully developed and most of them appeared to me more appropriate to someone's first apartment than an established home (so it just needs the right audience?). Lot's of the pictures involved just using eclectic pieces and did not involve actually developing a decorative theme.
