Review :
Monday, March 28, 2011 / 4:15 PM Christy Marshall, editor-in-chief, St. Louis AT HOME Swan's Song "First of all, there's that title: 101 Things I Hate About Your House. Written by interior designer James Swan, with an assist from Carol Beggy, the book goes step by step, room by room to point out every possible faux pas you have inadvertently made. I suspect I won't be asking him to dinner if he ever jets in from his Beverly Hills base. But his treatise will make you both laugh and cringe. While he'd be great fun at a bar--or on a lifeboat, I fear his critical eye would make me, and the sweet people I live with, painfully self conscious in our own sweet home. . . ." To read the full review visit http: //www.stlmag.com/Blogs/Secretary-of-the-Interior/March-2011/Swan-039s-Song/index.php. --Christy Marshall "St. Louis Magazine " Thursday, September 22, 2011 What James Hates About Your House ! "While on Twitter the other day, I laughed out loud when I saw the title of this new book, 101 Things I Hate About Your House, by nationally-acclaimed interior designer James Swan, with award-winning writer Carol Beggy and illustrator Stanley A. Meyer. The red "door" cover made me want to click the book's brass knocker NOW and walk right in and see...you guessed it...what James might hate about my house! (Oh, the pressure!) From page one, I was laughing all the way to my little...uh..."powder room" where James lets all us home dwellers firmly know: "If I've got to "go" then the last thing I want to see is the collection of cover-sticks, deodorants, and hair products that went into pulling you together for either day, evening, or both. I love you dearly, but I don't love you that much. Put your stuff away." Well James, the organizer and decorator in me says I'm with you so far on this sage homeowner advice! . . .
