PAINT AND MAKE (HB)

When artist and award-winning writer Philippa Stockey bought a small, derelict house, making it lovely on a budget was her key concern. She painted, sewed, sawed and cooked to create murals, floor coverings, panels and paint effects, soft furnishings, attractive and useful shelves, home-made jam and organic polish. She used as many natural materials as possible, kept waste to a minimum and recycled - and in more than 300 original photos and drawings, this practical book shows you how to do the same.
