You are in for a treat today as I am so happy to tell you about a most beautiful new book
by the fabulously talented Jamie Lundstrom, creator of So Much Better With Age blog.
If you know Jamie, you would know about her love for all things French.
Her beautiful French Country home is truly a reflection of her creative talents.
Jamie’s book has been released just recently and already,
“French Vintage Decor, Easy Elegant DIY Projects for Any Home”,
is the #1 Bestseller on Amazon
in the Do It Yourself Home Improvement category. Congrats to Jamie!
So enjoy a sneak peek of a French Vintage Decor & DIY Book & A Giveaway I have for you!
Meet Jamie.
Here she is creating one of her many beautiful floral arrangements.
Here is another example of her floral creations
in her dining room of a beautiful example of French casual elegance:
In typical “Jamie fashion” the book arrived
in a box beautifully packaged and filled with goodies and the sweetest personal note.
I could not wait to open the book and see each of the 70 great tutorials
on projects that help you obtain a French inspired look for your home,
such as How to Age an Urn and How to make a faux topiary.
You can see this urn and the topiary on her kitchen counter.
Beautiful?!! … yes indeed!
Just love the lavender topiary . . . can you tell I am partial to topiaries?
Jamie presents tutorials that are easy to follow
using materials that are easily accessible.
There is a section of projects/tutorials on textiles that include a project to create
a deconstructed footstool.
You can see the finished footstool in front of the fireplace below:
I share her love of baskets. Antique French baskets can be quite costly
and here is how she has taken a moderately priced basket and stenciled it
to create the look of a great vintage French basket.
To say that I love Jamie’s book is an understatement!!
Her book is truly incredible . . . filled with so many projects
that even I can do! 🙂 . . . to achieve the French flair that is so desired
without breaking the bank! Truly elegant and fun projects!
This book is available on Amazon HERE
