Get Real About DIY Decorating: A concise, comprehensive guide to designing, decorating, staging, and downsizing your home

by H E Metcalf

Unlike most photo-filled design books, this practical publication actually endeavors to teach readers how to decorate and stage their homes. Thus, its unique format consists of an instructional guide, workbook, and project planner. Besides basic design theory, the content includes step-by-step instructions, charts and illustrations, skill-building exercises, myths and hazards to avoid, as well as a series of question-and-answer dialogues. This book introduces a single, innovative system that addresses a broad range of decorative needs and circumstances. In addition to creating beautiful home interiors, it can be applied to a variety of life transitions requiring design skills, such as readying a home for celebratory events, renovations, resale, and retirement.
