Not as good as I had hoped. Because it was written in 1992, the colors and fabrics are now dated, and some of the treatment ideas are dated as well; for example, the designers wrapped the drapery rods in fabric. That idea is passe. But the basic types of draperies such as pinch pleats and roman shades are still shown clearly with photos and drawings, and can give readers help with the basics. Just don't look to this book to guide you with recent fabrics, or design or color trends. You won't find them here.

It is true that some of the fabrics and styles are passé. However, if one can envision these window treatments with today's colors and fabrics, the results can be rewarding. It's about what you want. Although there are no projects, the ideas and photos can get those creative juices flowing. Also, there are many helpful ideas and hints regarding fabrics, linings, trims, hardware, installation, care and cleaning tips. So have fun and don't be afraid to try something different and new!
