Review

Stitch, paint, and glue your way to terrific mini makeovers for any room, with a minimum of time and money. These 86 projects offer great easy ways to bestow colour and creativity on walls, windows, floors, furniture, and accessories, with simple sewing, stencilling, decoupaging, and glue-on trimming methods. Chairs and ottomans get a new lease on life with slipcovers; dressers, sideboards, and other wood pieces are crackle- finished, plaid-painted, or lace-stencilled; bedrooms and baths receive room-transforming effects with canopies, swags, and other basic but beautiful fabric treatments; screens, pillows, lampshades, frames, and other attractive accessories add further nifty detail. Good directions and nice colour photos make it all pretty simple--and pretty to look at. -- Amy Handy
