Country Living Handmade Country: Old-Fashioned Crafts and Timeless Keepsakes

Handmade is the secret ingredient of beauty. Now, Country Living Handmade Country shows readers how to bring handmade mementos, furniture, and objects from the past into our homes today, as well as how to transform old objects to serve completely new functions--a shoemakers rack becomes a colorful storage shelf; beautiful new pillows are stitched from old chenille bedspreads. Also, more than twenty-five craft projects are shown in detail with precise step-by-step directions and how-to drawings, including hooked rugs, twig-decorated objects, and boxes covered with luminous papers. Includes more than 150 full-color photographs.
