About the Author
With her vision of a simpler, more natural life, Jane Cumberbatch has acquired a following as an international arbiter of interior style through her best-selling books Pure Style (published in 8 languages and 12 countries), and Pure Style Outside. A former home editor on House and Garden, Jane has worked for the last 12 years as a contributing journalist and styling director on leading publications including Elle Decoration, Homes and Gardens, and Good Housekeeping. Jane's distinctive and simple look has been used in the home furnishing departments and catalogs of many companies such as Habitat, Laura Ashley, and Spiegel. Jane's experience of creating simple, functional and timeless spaces stems from the years she spent restoring an 18th Century house in London, and building an airy white home in Spain. Juggling the demands of family life and three energetic children, Jane divides her time between her Spanish home and her converted warehouse in London. Her homes have been featured in many interior design publications in England, Europe, and America. Pia Tryde's photographs have appeared in many lifestyle books. Her work also regularly appears in international magazines.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. In "Decorating Easy", Jane Cumberbatch presents her blueprint for a comfortable, easy-living, yet always stylish home that is practical and simple to maintain. Her approach to homemaking is about decorating simply, paring down and making the most of your space, without spending a fortune. The book details how to put an entire room together, from the basic architectural structure and use of space, through the furniture and fittings, down to the small but essential decorative finishes. The main body of the book, "Decorating Secrets", has complete schemes for every room in the house from the entrance to the garden. Each of the 60 schemes is illustrated with colour photographs taken in real homes and has detailed recipe-style instructions. Essential information is given on preparation work and other practical aspects of DIY that need to be considered, including: working up designs and sketches, putting together colour and pattern, working to a budget and the core decorators' tools needed to get the job done. There are features on the key areas that transform a room, from adequate storage in the kitchen to calming colour in the bedroom. A section with Twenty Things to Make and Do contains full instructions for a range of projects for stylish finishing touches, including decorative painting ideas, soft furnishings and home accessories to give a home its heart. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR004482155
