Synopsis

Crisp, personalized bed linens, hand-embroidered napkins, simple lace curtains, a lined picnic hamper - this volume reveals how easy it is to create luxurious linens that are both sophisticated enough for city dwelling and relaxed enough for country living. The book shows how to transform ordinary linens or create your own beautiful household linens that make gorgeous heirloom gifts or small luxuries for everyday life. The 24 projects are organized by room - dining, living, bed and bath - and are accompanied by instructions and diagrams. Chapters also cover the care of fine linen and how to shop for antique linens. A glossary of terms and a source list are included.
With more than 100 colour photographs and step-by-step diagrams, ELEGANT LINENS is as sumptuous and practical as the projects depicted.
