Actually I would first recommend A ROOM OF HER OWN —WOMENS PERSONAL SPACES – written by none other than moi– ChHRIS MADDEN in the late 1990s ( Clarkson potter/random house publishers )which was also made into a TV special for HGTV where I was the first host there with my own show for eight seasons. INTERIORS BY DESIGN WITH CHRIS MADDEN I would hope that Erika would at least acknowledge this groundbreaking book for its time! Too much Cofpycat and plagiarism going on these days and an acknowledgment would have been lovely – I’ve written 19 design books and I am now working on my 20th book - my first non decorating✨✨ wishing you all the best Erika!
