Using her farmhouse as an example, crafter Nicholas (Colorful Stitchery) shares her approach to the bold use of color in interiors. She begins with an overview of the basics for color, paint, and needlework. Nicholas then describes how she designs for best effect, whether displaying her collections of cloisonne or her own craft creations, which are shown in nearly 200 color photographs of every room of her home. Projects range from simple flower arranging to more complex tasks, such as painting a mural, that require a variety of skills: crochet, sewing, embroidery, and painting, among others. Pattern templates are provided as well as a list of additional titles for inspiration. VERDICT Amateurs and professionals alike will encounter here myriad ideas for the use of color and handcrafted decorative items in the home. (c) Copyright 2015.
