Making a House Your Home

Using her 15 years of experience as an interiors writer and stylist, Clare Nolan walks you through your home and helps you achieve the beautiful, balanced, individual space you've always dreamed of but never quite attained. Lavishly illustrated with over 300 photographs, "Making a House Your Home" includes chapters on Chaos to Calm, Making the Most of What You've Got, and Be a More Considered Shopper. With expert tips on how to avoid needless stress and expense, it includes simple projects to work on, and gives step-by-step guides to all you need to know, from buying key, last-a-lifetime items, to the finishing touches; the flowers, fripperies, photos and fragrance that make a house a home.
