Learn how to make brilliant homewares for your house. From homeowners to renters, we all seem to have one thing in common these days: we want our homes to reflect our personalities and look less like a shot from an interiors magazine. Gone are the days when flat-pack furniture and generic knickknacks ruled the roost. The modern abode is filled with old photos, trinkets, flea-market finds, and objects that have meaning. In Make It Your Own, Anna Alicia shows readers how easy it is to transform their homes into a wonderful living space. Annas approach encourages readers not to be afraid to customize furniture and soup up store-bought glassware and china to create a very unique look. Create a stunning candleholder with an old bottle and some glass pens; update your tired bookcase with a chevron print by using some masking tape and a splash of paint; bake some super-stylish Swedish Christmas decorations. Make It Your Own will inspire you to create your own signature home.
