More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Grace Bonney's daily website Design*Sponge -dubbed 'Martha Stewart Living for Millennials' by The New York Times -has 60,000 daily readers who love the site for its home tours and makeovers, DIY projects, recipes, videos, and podcasts. Bonney created the site in 2004 as an antidote to the fussy ( and expensive) shelter magazines of her mother's generation, turning it into a rallying point for crafty young homeowners everywhere. Culled fro her site, but with 50 percent all-new material, DESIGN*SPONGE DECORATING ESSENTIALS is Bonney's definitive guide to creating a stylish home for young homeowners and renters. This is truly Design on a Dime-from the tours of real-life interiors, where the decor was culled from flea markets and the owners' objects as a butterfly dome. Along the way, Bonney teaches the reader the principles of decorating and collecting, empowering them to create beautiful homes of their own.

Format:Hardcover
This book goes a step further than simply giving you a sneak peak into some inspirational homes, it also dedicates a large portion of the book to DIY projects.
How to make projects include;
picture frames,
flower press,
block duvet cover,
sweater wreath,
Bentwood sconce,
storage bench,
cat bed,
stamped fabrics,
floor pillows, peg board pot rack,
cat scratcher,
curtain hooks,
quilting
and many more DIY projects that can been worked on from as little as a couple of hours or a long weekend for bigger projects.
There is also a flower workshop showing you how to create beautiful and seasonal floral arrangements and giving aproximate costs for each project.
The before and after section shows projects from start to finish; these include found items at garage sales, car boot sales, or ebay being transformed with the help of paint and fabric into an item to be proud of.
The book gives excellent value for money. I am an avid collector of design books and a keen bargain hunter. I have only had the book for one week, but I have already completed two of the projects; a DIY jewelry bust and a padded seat storage bench.
This is definitely one of the better design books on the market at the moment.

I ordered this book after being an avid reader of the Design Sponge Blog, which I highly recommend to anyone. This book is full of tips and tricks to transform you home on a budget. The sneak peeks into designers homes also makes for interesting reading. There is a great balance between pictures and text to really make the point. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for inspiration for home makeover ideas.
