PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Lifestyle author Smith offers practical and adventurous projects to animate one's home with the extravagant use of color. The book's projects revolve around average objects that can be enlivened with a new coat of paint, such as terra-cotta pots, catch-all trays, wooden clothes hangers, and centerpieces. Beyond providing basic instructions for the projects, she explains color theory and shows how to determine workable color schemes while offering tips for mixing and matching colors. Then, room by room, she leads a walking tour of ways to spruce up living space with simple touches. The projects include marble-dipped utensil holders for the kitchen, a set of rainbow-painted chairs for the dining room, and a decorated mirror frame for the bedroom. There's a whole chapter filled with tear-out-and-frame wall art. The projects themselves are simple and require little to no expertise, making this guide perfectly suited for crafty teens or anyone looking for a low-cost way to add personality to their home or dorm room.
