Book Review – A Well Crafted Home

March 6, by Shellie Wilson. Leave a Comment

I recently picked up a copy of “A Well-Crafted Home: Inspiration and 60 Projects for Personalizing Your Space” by the DIY maven and I have to say, I’m thoroughly impressed. This book is a beautiful, practical guide for both aspiring and seasoned makers looking to add some personal touches to their home. With 60 projects ranging from beginner to more advanced, there’s something for every room in your house.

One of the things I love about this book is the emphasis on using good materials – like linen, leather, and wood – so that the finished products will last a lifetime. The author really knows her stuff and provides all the techniques you need for dyeing or sewing fabric, cutting leather, antiquing mirrors, working with wood, and so much more. And the photos of the completed projects are stunning – they’ll definitely inspire you to start your own DIY journey.

I love that the projects in this book are more than just DIY crafts – they’re carefully designed to elevate a room in a way you’d never expect. Take the large-scale painting with the effortless dot design, for example – it looks like a modern piece of art. And the flax linen bedding sewn with a few easy seams is such a gorgeous way to set off the bed – and more affordable than you might think!

Every room in the house is covered in this book, from the entryway to the living room, kitchen, dining room, bedroom, closet, bathroom, and even the outdoor oasis. I love the variety of projects, from the Dowel Wall Hooks and Reclaimed Wood Bench for the entryway, to the Woven Leather Basket and Soft Planter Cover for the living room. In the kitchen, the Wooden Herb Planter and Rustic Footed Cutting Board caught my eye, while the Heirloom Linen Tablecloth and Indigo-Stripe Napkins would be perfect for the dining room.

And the bedroom? The Framed Cane Headboard and Linen Bedding with Duvet, Shams, and Pillowcases are so lovely, while the Simple Stitch Throw Pillow and Sewn Leather Pillow would make great additions to any bed. And the closet? The Copper Garment Rack and Wall Shoe Display are not only practical, but also beautiful. And the bathroom? The Natural Wood Stump and Oak Tub Tray are so stylish and would add some warmth to any bathroom.

Finally, the Outdoor Oasis section is a beautiful bonus. The Simple Sewn Hammock and Painted Wood Stump would be perfect for a lazy summer day, while the Restored-Frame Tray and Ice-Dyed Blanket would be great for a cozy evening outside.

Taste of Home Handmade Christmas

Hi everyone! I recently got my hands on the book “Taste of Home Handmade Christmas” and let me tell you, it’s a real gem. If you’re someone who loves to create and give homemade gifts during the holidays, this book is for you.

The book is filled with so many creative and fun ideas for homemade gifts, from whimsical elves made of felt to custom greeting cards. The best part is that it caters to all levels of crafting experience, so whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting out, you’ll find projects that you’ll love making. The Canning Lid Coasters, Pinecone Fire Starters and Silver Chain Earrings are some of my personal favorites.

The book is divided into chapters that cover different aspects of holiday decorating and gift-giving. The “Deck the Halls” chapter is all about home décor and makes for ideal hostess gifts. The “Easy Jewelry Ideas” chapter is perfect for those of us who aren’t pro crafters but still want to create impressive pieces. “Nature Inspired Surprises” is for those who want to share their love of the great outdoors with friends and family. And the “Kitschy Christmas” chapter is for those who love to bring a little humor to the holidays, with silly toys and treats for Fido.

One of my favorite things about this book is that it’s so user-friendly. The projects are simple and easy to follow, with clear instructions and plenty of helpful tips. Plus, many of the projects can be done with kids, which makes them a great family activity.

I highly recommend the “Taste of Home Handmade Christmas” to anyone who loves to create and give homemade gifts during the holidays. It’s filled with so many inspiring and fun ideas, and the best part is that you can make gifts that will touch hearts and create memories that will last a lifetime. So what are you waiting for?
