House & Style

Creating a home environment that's warm and welcoming and easy to maintain takes a bit of planning. Cost efficiency and time saving come into it, of course, but there are a myriad other things to consider, from keeping clutter under control to green cleaning ideas and recycling. This attractive journal acts as a useful reminder of day-to-day things such as contact details for essential suppliers and services, appointments and payment dates, as well as a source of inspirational information for turning a house or apartment into a home. There's advice on creating a home office, making cosmetics and toiletries, cutting and arranging flowers and choosing decorating colours and fabrics. And, there's plenty of space to record personal information and store recipes, magazine articles, useful ideas and much more that could, otherwise, languish in a heap at the bottom of a drawer. It includes: a source of information and inspiration, featuring essential lists and ideas for creating and running a home; a convenient place to store and record personal material and great ideas; and, easy projects and tips that will help save money and time. This is an attractive, colourful design that makes this a perfect gift purchase.
