The Weekend Crafter: Stenciling: 20 Beautiful Projects for Your Home
With these 20 quick-and-easy stenciling projects, crafters of any level can make their mark and add some spark to furniture and home accessories.

The elements of garden architecture--paths, walls, gates, fences, terraces, sheds, lighting, furniture, waterworks, and art--together form the backbone of any well-designed garden.

Appreciative consumers treasured the sleek, elegant, and functional designs of Charles Eames, George Nelson, Isamu Nogushi, Eero Saarinen, Harry Bertoia, and many others.
