Here is information on what periods combine well, on how to put together certain colours, textures, and materials, and on scale, size, and proportion. With Classic Chic, you’ll be able to pull together a home that appears to have evolved over a long period – without spending a fortune on antiques. Classic Chic offers a myriad of inspiring ideas, with more than 30 do-it-yourself projects, including: how to wainscot a room, how to refinish antiques, and how to create a room-divider screen
