Decorating With Jane Churchill and Annie Charlton

For anyone interested in redoing a home with flair and imagination, here's a fascinating and delightful guide from two prominent British decorators. Jane Churchill and Annie Charlton each bring more than 25 years of professional experience and know-how to designing beautiful interiors. The creative ideas in this book show a healthy respect for home decorating budgets, yet they easily transform anyone's home into a setting for more gracious living.
More than 30 projects teach readers how to give their own homes a facelift, using such traditional skills as stenciling, decoupage, lacquer, and working with papier-mache and hand-dyed fabrics. Step-by-step photos, clear instructions, and no-nonsense advice show how to make picture frames, curtain tiebacks, silhouettes, stencil a wall or floor or sisal mat, paint furniture, and applique throw pillows. Photographs of whole room interiors suggest the many possibilities for decorating the rooms of a house - even a child's room.
Organized by the main rooms and features of a home - walls and doors, floors, furniture, children's rooms, decorative objects, curtains and cushions - this book will inspire readers to take on projects large and small.
