A Well-Crafted Home

Más información sobre el libro

A beautiful, practical guide for both aspiring makers and seasoned crafters, this book features 60 projects for high-quality furniture, textiles, and accessories to enhance any home. It provides essential techniques for dyeing, sewing fabric, cutting leather, antiquing mirrors, and woodworking, among others. Each project is designed with good materials like linen, leather, and wood, ensuring durability and longevity. Ranging from beginner to advanced, the items elevate spaces in unexpected ways: a large-scale painting with a simple dot design resembles modern art, flax linen bedding is both stunning and affordable, and a copper pipe rack for clothes is visually appealing enough to display. The book covers various rooms, including the entryway with dowel wall hooks and woven leather baskets; the living room featuring dyed fabric ottomans and air-dry clay bowls; the kitchen with rustic cutting boards and ombre ceramic vases; the dining room showcasing heirloom linen tablecloths and clay candlesticks; the bedroom offering framed cane headboards and modern latch-hook stools; the closet with copper garment racks and antiqued mirrors; the bathroom featuring natural wood stumps and leather wastebaskets; and an outdoor oasis with simple sewn hammocks and ice-dyed blankets. With beautiful photographs, this book demonstrates how even the smallest handmade touches can transform a house into a home.
