Dena Fishbein--host of the DIY television series Embellish This!- -has a line of stationery, gifts, and bedding that's sold in the finest stores. Using her own home as an example, this top designer teaches a range of exciting techniques for adorning your living space, from creating custom paper shades to hand-painting glass. What transforms an ordinary house into a warm and inviting home are personality and creativity-and TV host and designer Dena Fishbein teaches home decorators everywhere how to put a personal stamp on their dcor with a range of attractive embellishments. From hand-painting a delicate flower border on a kitchen wall to making sachet pillows out of vintage tea towels, these simple yet elegant projects add the perfect touch to every room. Best of all they're quick and fun to create. Discover the hidden treasures you own: those old and worn dressers, chairs, and tables can become decorative furniture that you will be proud to show off. (Some take as little as 5 minutes to complete.) Craft beautiful placemats, napkins, napkin rings, and coasters, and enhance unadorned plates and glasses. Play with lighting and candles to dramatic effect. The results will be amazing.
This is the kind of book that you can use for inspiration for all kinds of scrapbooking, party favors, card making, decorating, you name it. I love her attention to detail that I think adds more personality to your project than big bucks. If she were to write another book, I would buy it sight unseen.

Dream of having fabulous finds around your home but don't have the time to sit around and craft? Then you need Embellish Your Home by Dena. Her quick and easy projects take no time at all to add a little charm to your own home. I've done a couple of the projects already and have found how fun it can be, and still manage to have time to spend with my two girls at home. My 3yr.old even helped me make the beaded candles! You definitely won't be dissapointed, I recommend it to all my friends - including those who have never even crafted before!
