Great decorative ideas

I love this book.  For some time, I'd developed the "hankering" to create something that could be called "Americana".  (I get some strange urges sometimes, I admit it).  This book got my creative juices flowing rather nicely.  I own my own store, and like to offer items with a "theme" so to speak.  Since I'm not a gift shop I'm quite particular as to what I make and sell.  I made some beautiful decorative pillows, of varying sizes, that I was quite pleased with.
This was a worthwhile investment, and I'm happy I bought it.  I think you will be too, if you, like me, kind of lose your breath when you walk into a country gift shop!!

Great book to alternative decorating. Personally I like clutter and the displaying of favorite objects.

They are so pretty year round as decorative lights - on a tall potted plant, laid across a high shelf with collectable objects... lots of ideas for other uses. The timer keeps it easy with automatic on & off, all I have to do is replace the C Batteries as the lights get too dim from the batteries being drained.
At Christmas time they go on the door wreaths.

My son loves these and its a cute decorating idea especially for young kids that may grow out of the design as they are reusable and removable.  The variety of the designs are great for placing them just about anywhere, we placed them on his bed, wall, furniture, etc..no matter the surface they stuck just fine and came off without a problem either.

These beautiful ideas inspired me to try to dress up my house to look like the examples in the book. Best of all, the author makes it not too hard for someone who is not a professional decorator to achieve the look. The pages are fun to look through, because all the rooms are gorgeous, and the text is conversational, which makes it feel as if you are chatting with a good friend.

I love homes that have their own unique character and charm.  This book provides ideas and suggestions for adding character to your home, even if right now it's only your typical cookie-cutter home.  Great photos and inspiration. Well written.

Decorate for a Party is full of all kinds of wonderful ideas and easy DIYs to add a warm and personal touch to any gathering, make your guests feel extra welcome, and relieve the pressure to be perfect so you can have fun in the process. I like to think of it as decor within reach  aspirational and inspirational, yes, but most importantly: totally doable. Splashy parties with grand gestures and even grander budgets have their time and place but thats not here: Decorate for a Party is a party where everyone is welcome. Holly and Leslie detail their approach to party planning in an introductory chapter that includes practical tips for managing a variety of settings (i.e. the off-site party, the buffet-style party and the party in a small space) as well as suggestions for creating atmosphere and choosing a theme. The chapters that follow explore 10 decorating themes that can be adapted to suit a number of occasions, such as the pure and simple theme suggested for the elegant dinner party for six. I love this one for the design elements harkening back to a simpler time (vintage china, kraft paper, linen, berries, rustic pottery, infused water, homemade preserves) and the harvest-time colours (a soothing mix of green, cream, violet and yellow). The theme is thoughtful, but not fussy. Holly and Leslie encourage readers to use what they have (from dishes to craft supplies to fruits and wildflowers) and focus on a few small details. I love the six ways with place settings here in this chapter and the six ways feature elsewhere, including six ways with drink stirrers, name cards and stamp napkins. Each theme features a suggested playlist too. (Theyve thought of everything!) The playful and sweet theme stole my heart with its bright colours and super fun elements for the young and young-at-heart: think sequins, pom poms, garlands, lanterns and washi tape. Obviously adorable for a kids party, but so sweet for a Sweet Sixteen, baby shower or mother/daughter crafternoon too. The book wraps up with a source list for party supplies and tableware in the UK, US & Canada, Europe and Australia, including some of my favourites, Oh Happy Day Shop, Minted, Michaels and Ban.do. Parties are as much about making your guests feel welcome as they are expressing your creativity and having fun yourself, and Decorate for a Party is full of all kinds of inspiration. It's a beautiful, magical book. I hope youll treat yourself to a copy.

I really like this book. It is full of many ideas for decorating a cottage home or any home that you would like a cottage feel. There is a variety of styles and color schemes. This book is also great if you are on a budget. I highly recommend this book for anyone who loves the cottage style.

What a great book.  I bought it bargain priced but after having looked through it I'd have paid full price for it!  It is chock full of great photography and tasteful decorating ideas, many of which I never would've dreamed of.  (Not goofy stuff or out of place junk you sometimes see hung up on walls).  The shelving designs run the gamut from country decor(small toy wagon built into wall shelves) to entrance shelving, to sleek contemporary and simplistic Asian looks for kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms etc.  Really so many different options and a great variety of ideas.  If you a looking for inventive ways to decorate your walls, I definitely recommend this book.

I am always looking for my next crafting project and this book is full of cute ideas. Most of the bottle projects seem to be easy and on the intermediate level. I loved the cork project ideas, they are very unique. I received this product at discount or free.

This book has some great design ideas and unique colors and stones. This one will be very helpful to teach you new ways to do wire wrap. I think will become one of my favorite books to learn from.
