From the Publisher

HGTV's smash hit TV show Colin and Justin's Home Heist launched in 2007, unleashing the outrageous wit of sassy Scottish designers Colin McAllister and Justin Ryan on an unsuspecting and style-deprived Canadian public. Now the hilarious hosts use their expertise (and sharp tongues) to teach us how to renovate our own dismal dwellings, room by room. Colin and Justin's Home Heist Style Guide takes the reader through every stage, from planning to perfection, with in-depth advice about everything from choosing colour schemes to shopping for your home on a tight budget, giving even the most hopeless homeowner an indispensable list of the do's, and even more importantly, the don'ts of home design.
