About this title

About the Author:

Jennifer R. Ferguson has made five guest appearances on HGTV's The Carol Duvall Show and has also appeared on Aleene's Creative Living. She owns a specialty stencil shop and art studio where she sells her own line of stencils called the Stencilled Garden. Judith A. Skinner, a dedicated "house stripper," enjoys recycling old windows, doors, and drawers, turning them into works of art which she sells through her company, Collectiques by JuBee.

From Library Journal:

These four books supply a multitude of projects for the do-it-yourselfer. The Paper Shade Book, for instance, illustrates various styles for all types of lamps, while Making Decorative Screens demonstrates how to make framed and solid-panel screens using various techniques such as decoupage, paint finishes, mosaic, and fabric; each give well-written and illustrated instructions for each project. Both Painted Chairs, which shows whimsical painted decorations for all types of chairs, and Floor Style, which employs techniques such as stenciling and staining for indoors and outdoors, show the finished product with well-written instructions but few illustrations, which makes these two books better suited to experienced crafters. Purchase for public libraries where there is an interest.
