Embellish Your Home

By Dena Fishbein

Book Overview

It's personality and creativity that turn an ordinary house into a warm and inviting home. Using her own home as an example, TV host ( Embellish This! ) and designer Dena Fishbein teaches home decorators everywhere how embellishments can put a personal stamp on their dcor. From hand-painting a delicate flower border on a kitchen wall to making sachet pillows out of vintage tea towels, these simple yet elegant projects add the perfect touch to every room. Best of all, they're quick and fun to create, and many use the hidden treasures (like old and worn dressers) you already own. Craft beautiful place mats and napkins, create custom shades, hand-paint glass, and play with lighting and candles to dramatic effect. The results will be amazing.

My Kind of Book

This is the kind of book that you can use for inspiration for all kinds of scrapbooking, party favors, card making, decorating, you name it. I love her attention to detail that I think adds more personality to your project than big bucks. If she were to write another book, I would buy it sight unseen.

A Crafter's Must Have!!!

Dream of having fabulous finds around your home but don't have the time to sit around and craft? Then you need Embellish Your Home by Dena. Her quick and easy projects take no time at all to add a little charm to your own home. I've done a couple of the projects already and have found how fun it can be, and still manage to have time to spend with my two girls at home. My 3yr.old even helped me make the beaded candles! You definitely won't be dissapointed, I recommend it to all my friends - including those who have never even crafted before!
