Organizing Your Craft Space
Tidy shelves of craft supplies, every piece in its place. Porn! Porn for those who want a big, beautiful, organized craft or art space! This book intentionally has a space for every style and craft type, it will inspire you to organize even the tiniest craft bits.
The Big-Ass Book of Crafts
I can't recommend a craft book more than The Big-Ass Book of Crafts, it's a proverbial bible of low-cost crafty goodness across the spectrum. My favorite crafts are the easy and effective home made organic body products. Writer Mark Montano is my hero.
Home Cheap Home
Hands down my favorite interior design book, I even gave away a copy (because I accidentally ordered two, but shhh...) and wrote about my favorite featured house in detail. Another one I highly recommend buying, you can find it on Amazon for a low price.
Collector's Style
Neatly lined shelves of retro collection goodies. This book praises the collector and inspires you to thoughfully and artistically arrange your collection with an artist's eye. This book is a thrifting instigator and I love it. (Found while thrifting, naturally)
Handmade Modern
I checked this one out of the library about three times before I finally bought it. Just the book design inspires. It has simple step-by-step instructions that help you create gorgeous mid-century modern style furniture and crafts. From photography to writing and design, this is a perfect little book. I noticed a Kid's craft version on shelves this weekend, Kid Made Modern.

Good choices, all! Last Christmas my daughter got the Big Ass book and we all spent our fair share of time sneaking a look at it. I love to look at old decorating books. Some of the ideas are horribly dated, but you can spot the timeless decor and designs very quickly. Also, they are good for some laughs.
ReplyDeleteI love vintage decorating books, a little comedy but also usually some good inspiration. I once saw a craft room with a gun rack- my dream craft room! I almost grabbed one for this post but wanted books that were easy to find.
ReplyDeletei'm gonna reserve them at the library now! thanks! btw, i love anything with the words "big ass" as an adjective, so i am super excited (big ass excited? hmm, no) for that one!
ReplyDeleteI must check the library for that organizing book, thanks!

ReplyDeleteStopping by to let you know I have moved to a new domain. You can see me at www.nothingbutfabulousity.com
I have numerous giveaways, polls, and contests. Here is the sad part, with my move it appears I have lost all my comments. So if you have entered into anything I actually need you to zoom back and re-comment. If you havent entered into any of them, what are you waiting for? Get your butt over there!! HA!
Site is under construction so please be patient.
Stay Fabulous
