Oversize color photographs, great step-by-step directions, and just plain elegant design that’s easy to copy. [The] narrative is clear-cut—and is further enlivened by helpful hints. Almost every one of the 25 projects includes a suggested alternative.”—Booklist.
Amazon.com Review
The word pot calls to mind the standard flower container, but the title of Stephanie Donaldson's delightful book is actually a happy misnomer. Besides various-shaped and -sized terra-cotta pots, Donaldson also adorns glass and ceramic vases and metal buckets, and displays them not only sporting plants but serving as lovely candle holders, wine coolers, silverware and utensil caddies, bathroom storage vessels, and pencil cups. In addition to attractive takes on decoupage and paint (with lots of classy metallic looks), she also presents clever ideas with mosaics, beads, buttons, and glass-etching spray. A refreshing departure from the country-cute approach, Donaldson's sophisticated designs are nevertheless easy to realize, well explained, and beautifully photographed. --Amy Handy
