by Meg Mateo Ilasco, Thayer Allyson Gowdy (Photographer)

Overview

Twenty-seven projects to personalize your living space: “This heartwarming craft book reminds me why I love decorating my own home so much.” —Lena Corwin, author of Printing by Hand

Home is our refuge and a part of our identity. These DIY projects let us craft a space that celebrates who we are and where we’ve been. In Crafting a Meaningful Home, Meg Mateo Ilasco shares twenty-seven projects that tell personal stories and celebrate heritage, all easily created on a budget. Learn how to decoupage a plate with photos of a best friend; silkscreen upholstery with folk motifs; artfully display love notes; sew a teepee from a vintage quilt top; create family silhouettes for a festive banner; and much more.

Contributed by a cast of well-known designers from across the country, the projects are, at once, nostalgic, sentimental, and modern. Clear instructions are easy to follow, even for beginning crafters.
