Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Hallam presents dozens of garden-related projects, illustrated with 180 color photographs. In a chapter titled "Fresh-air Living," there are instructions on making draperies for a porch overlooking a garden, on refurbishing a deck, and on making a bubbling fountain. "The Garden Inside" offers advice on making "summery" slipcovers, on finding affordable collectibles with garden motifs, and on decorating a room with a garden theme. There are instructions on redesigning a work space (inspiration should come from the formal gardens of England and France) and on making pillows, a headboard (it looks like a picket fence), and a "birdbath" table. There are tips on creating art from dried herbs, on decorating a watering can, on collecting birdhouses, on "aging" outdoor ornaments, on creating a miniature garden, and on planting pots of fast-growing grass seed to use as centerpieces. And that's just a start; there are many more decorating ideas to keep garden enthusiasts busy year-round. George Cohen

4.0 out of 5 stars More ideas for inside than outside., May 6, 2000

This review is from: Garden Style Projects (Hardcover)

Great book on implementing garden and nature objects into your home such as adoring mosaic pots you can make. Headboards for the bed from old large wooden fence. An idea I liked using rusted, or new wire fence border as a frame to hold dozens of pictures. There are beautiful photographs throughout and wonderful decorating ideas. The book is lacking in style projects for outside, there are some but the indoor projects overrule.

This book gave me inspiration to make everything in it. I loved the pictures. I think that alot of the Home & Garden books are very similar, but this book really stands out. I love it and I highly recommend it!
