Booklist Reviews
The ultimate recyclers, Martha Stewart and her gallant band of editors not only have mind-bogglingly complete decorating archives at their fingertips, but also the imagination of a team to count on. Who would have thought that the lowly bottle of vinegar contained so many valuable uses, including weed killer? Or that, in lieu of forgotten vacation photographs, a framed, embroidered route map would keep travel memories fresh? And that even the humble rubber band, when stretched across a paint can's top, saves splashes and paint from dripping and spattering? The book's six sections— decorating, homekeeping, organizing, cooking, entertaining, and celebrating—contain literally hundreds of well-tested ideas readers can use, from the best ways to launder out pet hairs to building a DIY bedside shelf. With each color-drenched page featuring at least one brief and ready-to-adopt idea, it could take an entire year (and then some) to apply the very good things Martha and staff tout.
