Presenting fifteen individual rooms, Joan Steffend takes readers through each project, from creating a shopping list to mastering painting and craft techniques. Special "Trash to Treasure" features throughout the book offer great ideas for transforming second-hand items into one-of-a-kind pieces. Readers will learn how to:
-- Replicate the look of wallpaper with paints and stencils
-- Slipcover unsightly or worn living-room furniture
-- Cheer up a room with bright paints and an easy-to-make floor covering
-- Turn an unused back porch into a family gathering place
-- Create attractive storage spaces in unlikely places
