Gain Access Home Improvement Tips And Tricks: Hands-on Projects And Decorating Ideas On A Budget Outlined By Christina Salway In Manuscript

beginners guide to easy improvements in your first home

This book seems to be written for the recent college grad or a bachelor someone who hasnt put much thought to decorating and upgrading details around the apartment or doesnt have experience decorating a house.
She covers easy fixes like replacing lightbulbs for more pleasant tones of light, replacing contractorgrade hardware and door knobs to make things feel more sturdy and classic, ideal proportions for selecting a rug or hanging art over a sofa, etc.
There are good principles that even veteran home owners might appreciate being reminded of, I noted the instructions for window treatments, recommendation for feather down pillows, admonition against accent walls, and tips about coordinating colors throughout the home without looking matchy.
This is a very basic home decor book, but very good for its intended audience, This title is misleading. It is geared toward brand new homeowners or apartment dwellers, One review found the authors snarky tone to be off putting, but I found it to be humorous and on point for its target audience.
I didnt learn much here and the photos werent great, However, a worthwhile evenings read from the library of course for a young person just starting out in their own place, Im surprised after reading this to see how low its rated, Its definitely geared towards the more firstapartment crowd, but I still found it interesting, I dont know if I would ever do all the DIY stuff like retiling a floor that she describes, but I do like knowing how all that stuff works and she made some big jobs seem very accessible to do.


I am, however, sad to now view our new previously thought cool shower curtain in a new light, LOL, StepbyStep Projects from a Successful and Sassy Interior Designer!
