I found it at our local library. I used to love his show, too, but haven't watche it in ages. He is such a talented decorator. I found it very interesting. I can see picking out the area rugs before the furniture and paint, though. Christopher Lowell also has a book out by this title. I found it at our local library.

They say it is much easier to pick other decor elements based on the color palette defined by the rug than to find a rug to fit the furniture’s colors. I would be interested to see if decorators (who don’t just sell rugs) would agree.
