HGTV star Richardson shows a broad range in this idea book for the armchair designer. The portfolio of style options includes a New York co-op, a millennial's take on metrosexual, and an Arts and Crafts redux. For each major category of room in a house entry, living room, dining room, family room, bedroom, kitchen, kids' bedroom, bathroom, and office Richardson picks a handful of varied dwellings to feature. Several pages and a dozen or so photographs are devoted to each example, and each photo is accompanied by an extended caption. The crowded but organized photographic spreads eschew any scrapbook frou-frou, getting right to the point while also being chock-full of ideas. Richardson recommends "Get Over the Glider" and adeptly places a stylish high-backed orange upholstered office rocker in a gray, black, white, and blue nursery. Room layout is another one of Richardson's strengths. She writes: "the long, narrow proportions of a Victorian town house are often best addressed with two distinct seating groupings." Fortunately, the selected photographs capture just the right views to prove her thesis. While the caption's headlines can border on ingratiating (for example, "Get Leggy" and "Give It the Slip") the concepts are all there, on beautiful full-color display. "(Nov.)"

Click for Air Plants : the curious world of Tillandsias!!!

Sengo offers fresh possibilities to people who love plants in their homes but have little time, limited space, and a general disinclination toward plant care. Tillandsias, also known as air plants, meet those conditions, and this helpful volume outlines ways to cultivate and decorate with this odd genus, a member of the bromeliad family. Flourishing (almost) on neglect, tillandsias add an exotic note to window sills, on table tops, or suspended in air. The plants draw nourishment through their leaves, defying the horticultural logic that requires good soil with appropriate pH levels. They possess roots, which attach themselves to host as a means of finding optimal light and serviceable moisture. Tillandsias do need moisture regularly, whether acquired through a spray bottle, a faucet, or a good soak; otherwise they will dry out. Sengo's informative book offers creative ways to enjoy these quirky plants, which require minimal care and enhance living space with a hint of exotic flare. 195 color photos. "(Oct.)"
