Book Description

Publication Date: May 28, 2002

They twinkle as brightly as on Christmas night--but minilights aren't just for holidays anymore! Economical, safer than candles, and available in many styles, they produce beautiful effects indoors and out. The vast decorative possibilities spring out at you from each page, presenting everything from traditional white and rainbow strings to large gleaming, flickering orbs. Light display shelves to show off collections; bring the garden in with a star-kissed bower of glimmering plants; or give a young girl a pretty princess canopy over her bed. Illuminate windows with lights and lace, or make a patio shine. Kindle romance with an enticing Valentine's Day table for two. Go through the year with seasonal sensations, from a spring wedding arbor to a spooky Halloween House. Every lighting idea is brilliant!

I actually got this from the library first and like it so much that I bought it. Just loved the pictures which inspired some cool decorating ideas for a couple parties. If you can get it cheap, it's worth it!
