House Proud

Forget those boring beige sofas and anaemic pine coffee tables. Danielle Proud shows you how to produce fabulous signature pieces for every room - vintage-scarf cushions, sexy hostess aprons, personalised découpage tables and more - most of which you can make from things you already own. In no time at all, you'll be whipping up your own placemats from old Voguecovers, creating snazzy batik wind wheels for your garden, and giving your hallway an art deco edge with glamorous mirror stairs.
