Janette Swift shows how to decorate a home and save money using environmentally-friendly ideas. Everything in the book, from picture frames, lamps and shades, to mosaics for the bathroom, is made from recycled or low-cost materials which are easily obtained. The projects include exotic window-frames, space-saving beauty spots in the home, enhancing walls with 3-D effects, alternatives to curtains and chair-covers, mirror-frames the easy way, and five ideas for rubble from your garden or left-over building materials. With step-by-step instructions, colour illustrations and line drawings, the book is aimed at even the most artistically-backward and thumb-fisted reader, whilst presenting those who are imaginative and creative with a range of new ideas.
