by Lotta Jansdotter If you look around our Shoppe it's pretty obvious we're fans of Lotta Jansdotter. We've got her printing book, her printing kit, her sewing book, and now Handmade Living. Like her other books, this one is full of wonderful inspiration, great project ideas, and beautiful photographs. What makes Handmade Living special is that it's a more personal portrait of Lotta, giving us insight into how she lives, how she works, and what contemporary Scandinavian style is all about. From the publisher: Beloved designer Lotta Jansdotter's smart, organic design has earned her international acclaim. Now she shares her recipe for a stylish home: take a whole lot of Scandinavian influence, mix in a dash of flea-market finds, and then top it all off with expressive handmade touches. The result? An entirely fresh approach to home décor and contemporary living. In this lavishly illustrated book, Lotta shares her decorating secrets, design resources, entertaining tips, and family traditions. Tucked away at the back she's included stencil pages and perforated recipe cards featuring classic Swedish dishes. Equal parts inspiration and how-to, this charming book shows readers how to create a warm home with elements of simple Scandinavian-influenced style. Hardcover, 9" x 11"; 176 pages; 150 color photographs, 20 illustrations, 12 perforated recipe cards, 4 stencil pages. |
