  Designer and TV personality Helen Levien magically and dramatically transforms plain outdoor items into stylish decorative pieces in this colourful, inspirational book. Using simple techniques and innovative projects, she illustrates inexpensive and effective ways to embellish and create a spectacular range of outdoor items. Step-by-step photographs show how surfaces can be decorated to create a rustic traditional look, or painted with bright, vibrant colours to create an exciting contemporary look. Ten different themes are included, from the Bronze Age, Roman and Victorian, to Shaker, Japanese and Modern Greek, and there are great ideas for each theme, from mosaics and antiquing to stencilling and painting. Helen transforms the many objects in this book with style, imagination and flair. These projects are fun to do and are perfect for anyone interested in creating fresh, original and new ideas for their home.
