📘 Make it your own

by Anna Alicia

Learn how to make brilliant homewares for your house. From homeowners to renters, we all seem to have one thing in common these days: we want our homes to reflect our personalities and look less like a shot from an interiors magazine. Gone are the days when flat-pack furniture and generic knickknacks ruled the roost. The modern abode is filled with old photos, trinkets, flea-market finds, and objects that have meaning. In Make It Your Own, Anna Alicia shows readers how easy it is to transform their homes into a wonderful living space. Anna's approach encourages readers not to be afraid to customize furniture and soup up store-bought glassware and china to create a very unique look.
