Book Description
The Complete Home Decorating Idea Book focuses on vertical and horizontal surfaces by examining not only windows, walls and floors but also celebrates the fifth wall ceilings! Readers will discover the clever possibilities for treating surfaces of all kinds with paint, wallpaper, tile, stone, fabric and more. Beginning with a chapter on a personal favorite, window treatments, Stoehr covers all types of hard and soft window products, as well as how to approach the decoration of a large window wall. A chapter on wall coverings follows, including paint, paper, tile, stone, fabric and wood. In section three, the decorated ceiling pulls our eyes upward from the horizontal sweep we normally experience in a room, creating a sense of satisfied completion to any interior. Decorated ceilings, our interior sky is attention to detail at its best, creating drama in the dining room or a calm, restful environment in the bedroom. Finally, we look to the floor, an area frequently overlooked but is the ultimate component for finishing any room with style. All this and more, including thousands of today's top interior photographs, will be found in The Complete Home Decorating Idea Book.

Pages : 158

Book Description
For people who don't sew (or don't want to), no-sew projects are a dream come true. No-Sew Fabric D¬cor is the first book that tells how to create real window treatments, chair covers, bed and bath, pillows, and home accessories without sewing a single stitch. Its step-by-step projects make it easy to transform a room armed only with a glue gun, staple gun, fusible web, grommets, Velcro, and other no-sew techniques. Home d¬cor sewing expert Pamela Hastings has adapted the most popular d¬cor projects to become no-sew. Her 35 original designs include window treatments, seat covers, decorator pillows, lampshades, padded headboard, duvet cover, bed canopy, tablecloths, shower curtains, even an armoire. Each project has been photographed on location, and how-to steps are illustrated with beautiful watercolor drawings. No-Sew Fabric D¬cor is a breakthrough book in home decorating because it opens up a new market: people with a home to decorate, but no ability or desire to sew. The no-sew approach has wide appeal. It's perfect for a man or woman decorating a dorm room, first apartment, or vacation home, but it's also a smart way to turn top-end fabrics into elegant soft furnishings. It's for people who don't own a sewing machine, but it's also for sewers attracted to these timesaving ideas. At last, here's a book for all the no-sewers among us!
