Down-to-earth talent and easy-to-implement design style describes Laurie Ann McMillin Ray. After years of guiding a variety of clients through an assortment of decorating adventures, she shares her insider's knowledge and inspiration cultivated along the route. The book gives insight into the art of the easy room makeover by combining colour, fabric, and wallpaper with quality furnishings and flea market finds, and teaches how to transform a space from mediocre to wow with just a few small changes (illustrated in more than two hundred color photographs). The best part is that her advice is budget minded, and she gives tips for a thrifty transformation. Bottom line -- this book is not about conventional decorating dictated by someone else's rules, but about bending the rules to reflect personality -- the reader's.

'Tis the Season for Witches, Elves, and a Legion of Ghosts Not so very long ago, Yuletide was as much a chilling season of ghosts and witches as it was a festival of goodwill. In The Old Magic of Christmas, you'll rub elbows with veiled spirits, learn the true perils of elves, and discover a bestiary of enchanted creatures. Rife with the more frightful characters from folklore and the season's most petulant ghosts, this book takes you on a spooky sleigh ride from the silvered firs of a winter forest to the mirrored halls of the Snow Queen. Along the way, you'll discover how to bring the festivities into your home with cookie recipes and craft instructions, as well as tips for delving more deeply into your relationship with the unseen. Praise: "Steeped in history and adorned with a bit of enchantment, The Old Magic of Christmas is the perfect book to read by a winter's fire with a mug of mulled cider in hand."—Deborah Blake, author of The Witch's Broom "...[A] fascinating journey into the stories behind the tinsel and bows."—Doreen Shababy, author of The Wild & Weedy Apothecary "...[A]n intriguing little tome that explores the darker side of the Yuletide holiday."—Ellen Dugan, author of The Enchanted Cat
