Vendeur : Crappy Old Books, Barry, Royaume-Uni
Etat : Used. Decorating Tricks (2000) By Maggie Colvin ? Hamlyn ISBN: 060060053X, Condition: Used, as sold by Crappy Old Books This is the book you buy when you want your home to say, ?Yes, I was decorated in the early 2000s?and nobody is sorry.? Decorating Tricks by Maggie Colvin is a gloriously earnest guide from that strange and wonderful time when rag rolling was edgy, feature walls were a lifestyle, and sponge-painting wasn?t a cry for help but a decorating solution . Think of it as a time machine to the era of terracotta accents, faux finishes, and the deep belief that a well-placed stencilled border could transform your entire personality. This particular copy has already seen some things. Sold proudly by Crappy Old Books , it arrives: With lightly battle-worn corners , suggesting it has survived at least one over-ambitious makeover weekend. With pages slightly waved , as though they have been consulted in rooms filled with steam, paint fumes, and mild regret. Carrying a fully functioning ISBN (060060053X) , because even decorating advice needs a formal identity in the modern age. Inside, Maggie Colvin cheerfully reveals all the ?tricks? that promise to turn you into the kind of person who says things like, ?Oh, this? I just dabbed a bit of glaze over a basecoat.? You?ll find: Step-by-step guides to clever cheats and shortcuts, for when you want the look of a professional decorator but with the actual skills of someone who just found the paintbrush. Suggestions for disguising less-than-perfect walls using pattern, texture, and sheer decorative audacity. Styling ideas that walk a fine line between ?charming? and ?your house is now a theme park.? Does every idea still belong in the 21st century? Absolutely not. Is that half the fun? Absolutely yes. This used copy may come with: The odd mysterious mark that might be paint, might be coffee, might be both. A few dog-eared pages in the ?quick fixes? section, hinting that a previous owner had both enthusiasm and questionable plasterwork. That gentle, comforting aroma of old paper + DIY optimism + a faint sense that someone once tried marbling and never spoke of it again . You?ll encounter tricks for: Making small rooms look larger with colour, mirrors, and strategic denial. Making old furniture look ?shabby chic? rather than just ?shabby? (results may vary). Distracting visitors from architectural crimes by giving them something very busy to look at on the nearest wall. It?s the perfect book if: You?ve ever looked at a blank wall and thought, ?This needs sponging.? You secretly enjoy interiors that look like they came straight out of a 2000s lifestyle magazine, complete with bowls of decorative pebbles and a strategically placed throw. You believe that somewhere within you is a tasteful decorator, buried under layers of magnolia and self-doubt. And of course, purchased from Crappy Old Books , you?re not just getting decorating advice?you?re getting decorating advice with history . This is not a sterile, untouched coffee-table ornament. This is a working manual that has earned its scuffs. It has probably been propped open with a paint tin. It has lived . So go on. Take Maggie Colvin?s hand and let her lead you into a world of decorative deception, domestic illusion, and wall-based wizardry. Maybe you?ll transform your home. Maybe you?ll just transform your appreciation for how far interior fashion has come. Either way, you?ll own Decorating Tricks , the used, slightly weathered, quietly iconic handbook that proves one enduring truth: even if the makeover doesn?t quite work out, at least the book looks great on the shelf.
