Design to Sell 
2008-07-18
This is a fun book to read, full of lots of before and after pictures, but I wish there were more; more pictures, more projects, more. The book is organized by room, which is really nice, and for homes that are featured in multiple sections, the writer references the pages where you can find the other rooms. The descriptions are detailed and a budget breadown is included. It's a great resource and fun book (as stated), but I'm looking forward to a new release.
Fantastic! 2008-06-13
I love this book! The show is great, and the book is very informative for anyone even thinking about selling their home in the future.
Great show, great book. 2008-04-10
If you are a fan of this show, you will lve this book. We decided to take our house off the market, but when it was on, we got TONS of compliments on the look of our home, from buyers and agents. This is a good design book, even if you don't plan to move!

This was not the book I was expecting. It's just a rehash of the TV show. I should have done more research.
Pictures speak a thousand words! 2008-01-02
Great pictures and the suggestions are truly helpful. I don't know how they get the furniture they use for so cheap but the ideas they use are great. If you are interested in Staging your home to sell it faster, this is one book I do recommend.
Not Practical 
2007-10-29
If you have the luxury of stagging your home for resale as they do on the show, this book may help expedite the sell of your home.
I am not convinced that stagging equals the immediate sale of your home. If it were that easy, there would not be such a heavy inventory of homes for resale.
The book does have some nice decorating ideas, just don't count on them to sell your home.
Change "other views" 
2007-10-08
Before I bought the book, I read the reviews, but what really got me interested was the "other views" or pages from the book below the book title, you know the ones that you look at to get a better idea what's in the book. Well it shows a page with "glazed cabinets" but there is no such page in the actual book. I was really disappointed just because I expected it to be there if it was right below the book.
Not for a beginner 
2007-09-05
Not enough detail info or "example" pictures to please me. When one is just "breaking in" to designing more before/after pics would help.
great pictures, good advice 
2007-08-18
The Designed to Sell book offers the same frank commentary, sage advice, and money-saving tips as the TV show. Many large full-color photos are a special treat and a great resource for both fans of the show and homeowners looking to stage their property for sale.
The book could have been strengthened by a conclusion (noticeably absent) and also more before-and-after pictures; sometimes only the "after" was shown.
If you've seen the show.... 2007-08-14
You don't need to read the book. There wasn't anything new or insightful to be garnered from reading the book. I was hoping for some more in depth tips that the show doesn't have time to cover.
