Furniture Fix-ups
Soft Touches
Surface treatments
Stylish Storage
Artful Collections

Nature Arts
Here are some of my favorite projects:

I'm not eligible for the giveaway (Boo!), but I have to comment on the lovely pictures!
I think it's the pictures which really sell a book like this, and so they really enhance your review. =)
This looks like a good book to help one decorate.
