Making Yourself at Home: Finding Your Creativity and Putting It All Together Reviews:
Terrific Ideas 
2008-07-21 - I thought it was a Terrific Book. She is such a talented person - acting, painting, decorating. I loved the pics from her home and got some great ideas from it. I like that it was sectioned off into specific areas for each chapter. Great ideas to change you decor and without spending too much money. I'm a bigger fan now than I was before.
Better than Martha 
2008-05-22 - This is such a lovely book. Very inspiring idea's and loads of photo's. She has done a charming job to her home, garden and the bits of her life that she shares with the reader. I even was inspired to learn to watercolor paint, as well as my 13 year old. The book could also be used as a great coffee table book (it`s a good size book). Her decorating is more English country style, with personal flair filled throughout her home and garden. You will be pleasantly surprised when you receive this book , it's got loads of fun ideas.
Gorgeous! 
2008-03-10 - I love this book and, after reading it straight through in one sitting, I keep looking at it over and over just to admire the calming interiors and the lovely photography of Jane and her family. I have long admired Jane Seymour as an actress and also love reading about her various homes, her English upbringing and her effortless & relaxed elegance. This book features her Malibu home and it is full of as many photos of Jane & her family as it is of the interiors. It's really inspiring in terms of decorating ideas and also gives an intimate glimpse into her private family life as well. I recommend it for any collector of decorating coffee table books as well as Jane Seymour fans. She has impeccable taste and elegance and just leafing through this book makes me feel relaxed and calm after a hectic day with my kids and their schedules !!!!!!!!
A beautiful book 
2008-02-01 - I want to move into Jane's home. What a beautiful book and makes you see the possiblities to change what's around your home.
WONDERFUL BOOK! Extremely inspiring 
2007-10-20 -
I absolultely LOVED this book. I received it as a gift and wasn't sure I'd enjoy it, but, once opened, couldn't put it down!
The pictures are divine and Seymour has a fabulous writing style and explains, in simple language and great photos, how to infuse your personal style throughout your home -- including using some of your jewelry or clothing in tabletop displays.
I rearranged my bedroom and living room immediately after reading and everyone who comes over remarks on how comfortable they are in the revamped space (I didn't even buy anything new)!
HIGHLY recommended.
