In more than twenty fabulous room makeovers--each
accomplished for less than $500--Quinn shows how to make the
most of a room's best features and how to spruce up the
rest. There's a theme for every decorator: Dramatic Rooms,
such as the Surfer Chic Lounge and the Moulin Rouge Studio;
Classic Rooms, like the Botanical Dining Room and the
Peaceful Bedroom; Exotic Rooms, including the Mexican Living
Room and the Moroccan Den; and Children's Rooms, like Flower
Power or the Cowpoke Nursery.
Quinn also offers
creative ideas for easy, inexpensive home projects to
overcome room-specific design challenges and add a personal
touch to your room redos, such as:
- Realistic-looking "wooden" beams or a
pressed-tin
fireplace made with embossed wallpaper and silver spray
paint
- Expensive-looking wall art made simply
from
framed swatches of fabric or homemade
paper
- Whimsical details like a working
fountain or a
teddy bear topiary for a child's
nursery
Whether
you're a young decorator-on-a-dime or a habitual makeover
fan, $500 Room Makeovers will inspire you to create a
room that's easy on the eyes, and even easier on the wallet.
