Decorating with Fabric – Inspiration + Instructions + Photos!


Change your home decor with the seasons easily and inexpensively.
Decorating With Fabric uses lush, full color photos and artwork that will tempt you to go straight to the sewing machine to try these charming patterns and home decor projects. Stitch slipcovers, blinds, curtains, pillows, table linens, lampshades, screens, and bed canopies.

For a spring awakening, look no further than the garden, and bring in the brightness and light with florals and other fresh prints. Airy, crisp, summery hues work beautifully on a garden canopy and stools. Or decorate a bedroom in the sea-and-sky tones of indigo blues and white. Make a cozy quilt cover for the blanket that wards off autumn's chill, and put a plethora of plaids everywhere for a timeless country look. Winter's choice might be exotic, rich,Asian fabrics, resplendent in color and detail.
Every design and project is inspiring. Instructions are clear and easy-to-follow. Beginners will find Decorating With Fabric a user-friendly tool for DIY home decorating and those with more experience will find it inspirational and will benefit from the numerous tips and examples. List price: $19.95 but I found an interesting -55% offer on BookCloseOuts.com for only $8.99 USD

How to Recognize and Refinish Antiques for Pleasure and Profit


Love antiques? This post is for you!
Last night I stumbled across a most interesting antique book while perusing Amazon called  
authored by Bob Brooke and published by Globe Pequot.
It looked like such a lovely guide and definitely not ‘typical’ so I snapped it up in jiffy, ordering before retiring to bed.

For weekend antiquers looking for bargains amid the dust and clutter of yard sales, auctions, flea markets, and second-hand shops, this invaluable guide shows you how to ferret out the best pieces and transform them into objects of beauty for your personal collection or for profitable resale. xe
