With instructions for 15 before-and-after furniture projects in Blair's signature bold style, colorful design sketches, a 'toolbox' section of her best techniques and materials, and dozens of inspiring interiors, Furniture Makes the Room reveals the true versatility of furniture and unlocks the secrets to decorating rooms around statement pieces.Author BiographyBarb Blair is the owner and founder of Knack, a brick-and-mortar retail shop and furniture design studio.
