I was looking for some new inspiration for my Christmas décor when I came across this book and was immediately spellbound by the candy-coloured cover… I just had to get a copy!

I got it home and gently opened the cover, trying not to drool in anticipation! I was certainly not disappointed… Tone Finnanger has such a wonderful eye for modern cottage and ‘shabby-chic’ styling.

Colourful and creative projects take us through each room of the home, so from table settings to hat-stands, there is plenty for us to coo over. I even found myself imagining creating some of these projects for more permanent home features. There are many techniques that translate to more permanent projects.

Oh and did I mention the clothing, toys and complete Christmas packaging projects? This is becoming a book for modern ‘shabby-chic’ living the more pages I turn…adorable!!

As much as I love and thoroughly recommend this book, I’m secretly hoping that you will have missed my review until after I’ve re-decorated!!
