an indispensible book for those who'd rather have fun than new furniture

Daring decorating for pennies. I love this one and plan to buy it for all of my frends and relatives who love individual expression more than ostentatious spending in their homes. A set decorator's approach.

be daring !

First published under the title "Instant Decorating" in the United Kingdom, this is an excellent book to inspire you to fix up those dingy areas in your living space. They write that success in decorating is simply a matter of imagination, rather than expenditure of time and money.It is divided into four sections:"Covering Up", about creating magic with paint and fabric, telling you what few tools you will need, and what are the best paints to purchase. It also shows clever ways to wallpaper, with everything from newspaper, time-yellowed documents, and most effective, old maps."Window Dressing", shows how you can make a crornice out of cardboard on a wood frame, curtains out of inexpensive dress fabric, and using driftwood for curtain rods and frames."Fast Furnishing": Fixing up junk shop bargains, making screens, canopies, and more."Showing Off". How to display your collections to greatest advantage. "Successful displays are all about creating impact. Scale, theme, positioning, and lighting are aspects to consider, whatever you display".With thick glossy pages, this colorful book has an energetic spirit that makes me look around my humble abode and make improvements, boldly and with daring !
