Stuck in a style rut? Banish the decorating blues forever with this you-can-do-it guide to fun and innovative home decor and crafts. Style guru Anne McKevitt will inspire you to unleash your imagination and creativity and transform your living space into the home of your dreams. She provides 365 projects with illustrated, step-by-step instructions to make it easy to start with great ideas and end up with finished, stylish, and simple changes to your home. These projects are so straightforward that most can be tackled in as little as an hour, many in no more than a weekend, yielding dramatic results without major investments of time, money, or energy. Anne incorporates the easiest techniques into her more than 100 how-to projects and tips, encouraging even uncertain would-be decorators to explore and express their creative talents. With Anne as your guide decorating becomes fun, and in no time you can select your projects, gather your materials, and roll up your sleeves to tackle your first plan. Anne McKevitt’s Style Solutions is organized room by room, from living rooms, kitchens, and dining rooms to bedrooms, home offices, and bathrooms. Children’s rooms, hallways, and gardens also get special attention, as do special events, celebrations, and gift-giving. Transform a boring bathroom using colorfully patterned mosaics and striking paint effects. Add eye-catching detail in the living room with beaded or fringed cushions and give the fireplace a facelift. In the bedroom, drape fabric from the ceiling to create a striking four-poster canopy effect. Anne also explains how a technique or project from one room can be applied to other rooms of the house and how you can share your newfound craft skills by making hand-finished gifts for friends and family, sure to be treasured for their individual appeal. With so many looks that are fresh, smart, and simple, Anne’s ideas jump right off the page to enhance the style and personality of your home.
