This is the first in a series of guides to creating colour schemes in the home, without spending a fortune. The schemes shown in this volume rely on colour for their effect, rather than on expensive furniture or fittings. Projects include making simple borders for existing curtains, hand-painting blue-and-white china, block-printing walls and making patchwork quilts.

From Booklist:
Burgess offers a bit of historical background about pigments and dyes, then goes on to present decorating tips combined with simple craft-oriented projects aimed at transforming items of furniture and home accessories. Emphasizing a blue-and-white color theme, chapters highlight various rooms in the home and show examples of stenciled and stitched fabrics, decorated chests and dressers, and glass and ceramic pieces colored over with special paints. Materials and techniques are described in the most basic way, with designs generally geared toward the beginner level. Alice Joyce
