Description



From “the DIY maven” (Architectural Digest), comes a beautiful, practical craft book for both aspiring and seasoned makers. Here are 60 projects for high-quality furniture, textiles, and accessories to enjoy all through the house–plus all the techniques you need for dyeing or sewing fabric, cutting leather, antiquing mirrors, working with wood, and much more.
A Well-Crafted Home includes simple, creative details that will tailor a space to your taste. More than just “DIY” crafts, these carefully designed projects call for good materials–like linen, leather, and wood–so the finished product will last you a lifetime. Ranging from beginner to more advanced, each item elevates a room in a way you’d never expect: a large-scale painting with an effortless “dot” design looks like a modern piece of art, flax linen bedding sewn with a few easy seams is gorgeous way to set off the bed (and is more affordable than you would think), and a copper pipe rack for hanging clothes is so pretty, you’ll want to keep it on display. 
There’s something for every room in this book:
The Entryway: Dowel Wall Hooks, Reclaimed Wood Bench, Woven Leather Basket, Soft Planter Cover, Block-Print Pillow, Looped-Tassel Wall Hanging
The Living Room: Dyed Fabric Ottoman, Tassel Wall Banner, Bleach-Dot Lumbar Pillow, Flange-Edge Throw Pillow, Tied Shibori Throw Pillow, Gemstone Box, Air-Dry Clay Bowl, Rolling Trunk Storage, Glass-Cover Pendant Lamp
The Kitchen: Wooden Herb Planter, Rustic Footed Cutting Board, Quilted Cushions, Leather-Loop Tea Towels, Ombre Ceramic Vase
The Dining Room: Heirloom Linen Tablecloth, Indigo-Stripe Napkins, Leather Napkin Rings, Clay Candlesticks, Boro Stitched Trivet, Beaded Light Fixture,
The Bedroom: Framed Cane Headboard; Linen Bedding with Duvet, Shams, and Pillowcases; Simple Stitch Throw Pillow; Sewn Leather Pillow; Trimmed Waffle-Weave Blanket; Modern Latch-Hook Stool; Dyed Fabric Art in Round Mat; Natural Jute Rug; Painted Ceramic Tray; Acrylic Side Table; Refurbished Table Lamp; Boro Stitched Memory Quilt
The Closet: Copper Garment Rack, Leaning Floor Mirror, Wall Shoe Display, Thread-Wrapped Pendant Light, Liberty Print Hamper, Antiqued Mirror Table
The Bathroom: Natural Wood Stump, Oak Tub Tray, Knotted Rope Ladder, Terry-cloth Towels, Leather Wastebasket
The Outdoor Oasis: Simple Sewn Hammock, Painted Wood Stump, Restored-Frame Tray, Ice-Dyed Blanket, Colorwash Sheepskin 
With beautiful photographs of rooms styled with all of the projects, A Well-Crafted Home proves that even the smallest touch of handmade can make a house a home.

    The detailed instructions are great!! I really appreciate the wonderfully refreshing ideas …
    I’m loving this book! The detailed instructions are great!! I really appreciate the wonderfully refreshing ideas that the author shares and that they are not the typically boring DIY ideas found in other books with the “same o same o” ideas, filled with fluff and pretty pictures. When I buy a book with pretty pictures and decorating ideas then that’s what I expect to get, but when I buy a book of how tos and DIY then that’s what I expect and to actually be able to follow the instructions. So, well done and kudos to this author for bringing us a book with lots of new and creative ideas to create for our homes, with easy to follow instructions that I can actually do myself and I am inspired to do!!

    Perfect DIY book for makers with style!
    This book is gorgeous – as is every project contained within in it. Every creative, maker, DIY-er and house dweller (so yeah that’s pretty much everyone) should have a copy of this. I really love how the author broke it down by room, so you can really personalize every space in your home! It’s the perfect marriage of design, style and DIY. I can’t wait to begin my first project – the hardest part is going to be choosing which one to start with!

    For the very crafty
    This book is visually very pretty and the projects within are very cool. However, this is for a more advanced DIY’er and not for beginners. The directions need to be followed rather meticulously in order for the projects to be successful. It has some really cool ideas though.

    I absolutely love this book
    I absolutely love this book! Not only is it incredibly beautiful and inspiring to flip through, it’s well written with easy to use, even if your not an avid DIYer. It showcases DIY projects that are current and on trend. You won’t be disappointed. This will be a coffee table staple !

    Beautiful book
    Beautiful book with well written projects and attractive photos. Great for DIYers and crafters who want to replicate the projects or just use them as a jumping off point for creative endeavors.

    I won’t be doing any of these
    Great title and this stuff may be a success for an extremetly crafty person. I just wasn’t excited about the projects. The looked pretty decent, but I think I expected a more polished crafted look. I just don’t think that the time it takes to do the crafts is equally to the beauty of the finished product. I bought the kindle version, so it doesn’t take up a ton of space.

    Thanks for the inspirations and creativity!
    Classic styling ideas, beautifully written and photographed – great styles, ideas and easy instructions. I really feel I can create the look I want without crazy expense and at my skill level. Thanks for the inspirations and style!

    Very Beginner
    I suppose this might be great book for people with little to no DIY experience. Serious DIYers (like sew your own clothes and remodel your own home types), save your money.

    I’m so glad I got this book! It’s beautifully made and it’s pretty thick. I received it yesterday and I’m already in love! I’ll be leaving it on my coffee table so my guests can skim through its wonderful pages.
