Lovely ideas for a new home (29/29 people found this helpful)
This book shows you how to embellish your interior, without spending a fortune. Some of the ideas she includes are, for example, mounting a picture and tilting it, putting simple objects you find on a walk (pine cones, seashells) on wall sconces, or in a box construction and how to use "finds" from junk shops, ie painting them, for example, and adding shelving to them. I bought this book at the same time as "How to Decorate" and I think the two of the books together form a very good "interior design" course. It is particularly useful for those of us who don't want to spend a lot of money, i.e. for those of us who are on a tight budget, or are not going to stay in the same place for a long time, or for a young household and, of course, for those who just want to decorate.
The photographs are inspiring as well. One tends to think of interior decoration as something well out of reach, and here is proof that you can make a lovely interior with minimum effort and outlay, if you wish to. Of course, you could also spend a bit more as well!!!
Martha Stewart shows you how to make lamps and shades, picture hangings, cushion ideas, room dividers and adapting junk furniture so that it doesn't look like "junk" anymore.
This book has inspired me to take out the lamp base I have been hoarding for a while, and to actually make the lamp myself.
I think this is a good purchase, and not horribly expensive either.
