The well selected variety of clients makes this book user friendly for most spaces. She also includes before and after pictures showing how each space was "cured" and helps the reader to see the process she used to redesigning and refining each space. The best part of this book: Lauri didn't just stop after rearranging furnishings for her clients, she also included long-term recommendations they can use to enhance their "new" spaces further.
