Decorating has never been so easy! You'll learn to take the things around you and turn them into projects that you love. Whether you are decorating with flowers, baskets, fabric, frames, candles, or books your home will show your personal touch.

We give you inspirations and ideas for creating simple and easy projects that you can make in minutes. And when we show you a new technique, we give you easy to follow directions and down to earth illustrations. So even if you don't have a creative bone in your body (or even if you do!), you can find, arrange, create, and enjoy decorating your home in your own easy style. There is no doubt that soon you'll be saying, "I can do that!"
