"German stylist, designer, photographer, and debut author Fehrentz shares his do-it--yourself designs in this book. The 48 projects are grouped into chapters by the materials used, including glass, ceramics, wood, leather, paper, fabric, metal, stone, and plastic, and portray a more modern style than typically found in craft books, which tend to show a more country-cottage look. Also included are decorative accessories, such as leather flowers, and furniture such as a patchwork-upholstered chair. Each project is rated by skill level and cost and lists the time required, a helpful detail to consider. Although there are step-by-step instructions, inexperienced crafters might find them lacking, especially for the more challenging plans. -VERDICT Skilled -do--it-yourselfers will find plenty of exciting design ideas here, many of which Fehrentz has used to decorate his own apartment." - Library Journal

I have been inspired to try a few of these as well as put my own twist on a few of the projects." - Cultured Civility
