From Publishers Weekly
Media's latest decorating darling, Brown boasts TV credits including Oprah, Good Morning America, and an eponymous program on the Style Network. As it turns out, the charismatic Brown is equally crafty in print. Her crisply designed and brightly photographed book offers step-by-step instructions for decorating projects from the basic (painting) to the wild (sewing a pompom bed skirt). It's the former that will appeal to most do-it-yourselfers: her design for asymmetrical shelving, for instance, is clean and modern, and the project is relatively simple to execute, even for the artistically and mechanically challenged. Her themed rooms-e.g. urban loft, seaside cottage and cabin in the woods-offer interesting models, and the individual components could work in virtually any room, anywhere. For each project, close-range photographs capture detail, and a concise list of supplies and tools heads up the minimalist (but sufficient) directions. But many of Brown's ideas seem frankly outlandish: the lamps made out of socks and sink strainers, the sandpaper glued to the coffee table and the stitched pleather floor covering may look good in the glossy photos, but it's hard to imagine them working in real homes. After all, a dishtowel safety-pinned to a chair ("reupholstering can cost an arm and a leg") is still just a dishtowel. Color photos throughout. (On sale Oct. 22)

From Booklist
Forget Martha. Brown is fast becoming the new, hip expert in home design and entertaining. The talented decorator has her own show on Lifetime Network and appears regularly on Good Morning America. Her second book focuses on transforming plain bedrooms and living rooms into exciting and vibrant living quarters that brighten a home and show off the owner's personality. Using five different themes--city loft, chic one-tone designing, secluded cabin, beach house, and kid's playroom--Brown creates sleek and streamlined living and sleeping areas with an updated urban elegance. Fans of the shabby chic style will love Brown's simple and relaxing atmosphere with feminine touches--comfortable but still classy. Throughout the book, and especially in the city loft-inspired rooms, the author steers toward low-cost design, but those just beginning hands-on home decoration will have many tools and supplies to buy. The directions are clear and straightforward, but some of the more elaborate projects will overwhelm beginners. An excellent resource for inspiration and ideas of a very popular and chic style.

I don't get Katie B.
By brontefan
This book and KB's show (Katie Brown's Workshop) are just so weird! I don't get how she could've not only made it as a "designer" but also managed to get on TV with her own show. What? I have to admit that whenever her show is on pbs, I watch it just to see her outlandish, impractical, and rather ugly craft ideas... such as wrapping men's shirts around vases and tying them w/ ribbon!? Spreading dry coffee grounds into a baking dish full of water, stirring it around, and then dipping the bottom of a glass into it--then using it to "print" circles onto craft paper to create a table covering?! First of all, the technique didn't work and looked like a dirty, coffee cup stained piece of paper---so ugly, I'm sorry. There's always something SO bizarre and weird on her show-- which is what compells me to watch it.

A home should be a home...not a theme park
By A Customer
I have to be honest here: I had high hopes for this book.
The first problem with Katie Brown's book is that embraces a really [odd], artsy crafty approach....like turning a wok into a light fixture. Just because something can become something else doesn't make it right. It just looks tacky.
The projects are strange, the decor is way too thematic (like a theme park..I swear), and it just seem soooo off...

Uneven
By Michael Cornett
I remember seeing Katie Brown on TV and being fairly unimpressed; chancing on this book at a library, I borrowed it and was still unimpressed.
All too often she seems to be trying too hard to be whimsical and cutesy-poo, with diminishing results. And there are ideas that are decent enough on their own, but combined with all the other ideas for her different styles, just ends up being cloying.
Some are weird...like curtain rods made from push brooms and mops, or a lighting fixture made from rakes. A lighting fixture made from a wok actually doesn't look too bad, and some lights made from socks (!) aren't too bad either.
Others, though, look good at a glance, but on closer examination don't work too well. A faux-quilt made of plaid wool scarves crisscrossed on a bed and pinned together looks authentic enough when just flipping through pages, but on a closer look just looks chintzy. A kid's room lighting fixture looks fun until you realize it uses flashlights and might not light very well (or possibly need continual batteries).
And some are just plain weird and/or impractical. A coffee table covered with contact paper is OK enough, but another covered with sandpaper?!? Another, given a pebbles-and-grout top, actually looks kinda cool but might not be a good surface for a wineglass. But the idea of decorating a living room with actual tree branches strikes me as colossally bad (unless for a single evening); I can envision all sorts of cleaning horror stories as twigs and bits of bark, or possibly even bugs, start to litter the floor. (And heaven forbid they end up being a fire hazard...)
There are some decent ideas with fabrics, including some very nice workable pillow concepts. The book isn't entirely useless; I would recommend using an idea here and there. But overall the styles are cloying and unlivable, with too much emphasis placed on whimsy and looks-good-at-a-glance and not enough on permanence, practicality, ease of care, and a workable graciousness. Try harder next time, Katie.
