CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

I love Debbie Travis but..... -
I loved the Facelift when it was on HGTV but this was dissapointing. All of the gorgeous rooms she designed, I don't know how she decided on these. I would rather have had tiny before and after's like Trading Spaces with tips on how to create the spaces. Needless to say I was pretty dissapointed. For the faux finishers, there are a few faux finishes in the back of the book that she gave step-by step directions for.

Facelift -
Great book. I cant get enough of debbie travis.

Flawless Transaction -
The book arrived in perfect condition and in a shorter amount of time than specified. Thanks!

Debbie Travis Facelift - did not live up to expectations. -
I have a collection of five of the Debbie Travis books - this is one (Debbie Travis Facelift) that I really did not enjoy compared to the others by Debbie Travis.

This was not a very good "How to do" book - instead it only shows end results and most of the rooms shown are limited to a very eclectic or modern style of decorating. My other 4 Debbie travis books show a wide range of styles that basically can appeal to everyone and they show a variety of painting styles and decorating. For me two far more useful Debbie Travis books are Decorating Solutions which was really wonderful, and Painted House which I think is fabulous.

Great Companion Guide to her Decorating Show -
This book is a good companion guide to Debbie's FaceLift show. It focuses on several of her facelift projects and includes tips and a few step-by-steps for projects. Where this book excels are the photographs of the rooms, her color choices and combinations and the "before" and "after" pictures.

The first 15 or so pages contains basic info and an intro to her Facelift team. A lot of the time it is difficult to see the before pictures because they are so small, but the main part of the book, her creations, are beautiful. Most of the designs have a contemporary, modern feel. Debbie has a great way of combining function, color and classy styling to her designs.

I think my favorite part of the books are her color choices. So many of them I would never have considered but she shows how you can select a bright yellow or a subdued steel blue and make it beautiful. The best part is that most of the projects seem "doable" without expending huge outlays of time and effort (unlike some of her Painted House books).
