 I love it!! I love it!! I love it!! February 15, 2008

I don't know how anyone cannot love this book. No, it is not a project book. Yes, it is a nearly-shameless tool to market Amy Butler's designs and style. So what?? I feel like the absolutely gorgeous photography and approachable, down-to-earth prose more than make up for that. If you love Amy's designs, you should love this book. If you are searching for inspiration to help cultivate a funky, eclectic sense of style, this is a great book. Projects - no. Inspiration - enough to spare. Enjoy!

Unlike some of the other reviewers, I understood the book's intent by the description. It's a LIFESTYLE book - there are not many patterns to copy (buy Amy Butlers IN STITCHES, if that's what you are looking for) - but there is plenty of eye candy. I expected more personal fashion (less home decor) based on the cover - as one of her patterns take center stage - but there is much more home decor/style than you could hope for. The studio & decor pictures are great. Lots of great ideas - completely adaptable without using her fabrics - - - Note, you will be hit over the head with Amy's fabrics - so yes, it is a bit of self-promotion going on, but that's just what I would expect. Great book! Lots of ideas!

Every young girl who dreams of being a designer needs this book under her Christmas tree! And, for those of you who are raising these daughters, this book will awaken the creative and imaginative side of your personality that has lain dormant for way too long!!!
Amy is a catalyst for bringing generations of women together who share a common bond - the desire to let their spirit soar! She shares her personal journey through photography.
This truly was a family affair. Her husband, David, did the photography for this book and managed to catch the charm and peace that they have incorporated into their busy, everyday lives.
Clean and simple designs that showcase the natural beauty that surrounds her, is what has drawn all of us to Amy. David's photography demonstrates how she has brought her love of gardening indoors and translated the beauty of her gardens into the fabrics we love.
For those of you who have embraced Amy and have watched her style evolve over the years, this book will be like revisiting an old friend. It is like reading the end of a book first and then getting to go back and discover the "rest of the story". You will recognize your favorite fabrics, prints, and designs and enjoy seeing how Amy brought all of these design elements together to create her own style.
But, Amy's true gift is that she encourages the spirit in every one of us. She has created a life, a career, and a home where she can express herself and her creativity.
Isn't it time that you let yourself invest in your own creativity and let your dreams come true? Amy would be so proud.....

An inspiring book I find myself referencing again and again. Beautiful photos and written from the heart, every time I flip through the pages I notice something new. If you are looking for a fresh perspective and inspiration for your home, I highly recommend this book!

Something fresh and exciting for the design world finally. Ignore the "posted" reviews. They're people who expected another project book. A great, honest inspiration book is what you'll get here.
