Purchase options and add-ons

From "the DIY maven" (Architectural Digest), comes a beautiful, practical craft book for both aspiring and seasoned makers. Here are 60 projects for high-quality furniture, textiles, and accessories to enjoy all through the house--plus all the techniques you need for dyeing or sewing fabric, cutting leather, antiquing mirrors, working with wood, and much more.

A Well-Crafted Home includes simple, creative details that will tailor a space to your taste. More than just “DIY” crafts, these carefully designed projects call for good materials--like linen, leather, and wood--so the finished product will last you a lifetime. Ranging from beginner to more advanced, each item elevates a room in a way you'd never expect: a large-scale painting with an effortless “dot” design looks like a modern piece of art, flax linen bedding sewn with a few easy seams is gorgeous way to set off the bed (and is more affordable than you would think), and a copper pipe rack for hanging clothes is so pretty, you’ll want to keep it on display. 

There's something for every room in this book:

The Entryway: Dowel Wall Hooks, Reclaimed Wood Bench, Woven Leather Basket, Soft Planter Cover, Block-Print Pillow, Looped-Tassel Wall Hanging

The Living Room: Dyed Fabric Ottoman, Tassel Wall Banner, Bleach-Dot Lumbar Pillow, Flange-Edge Throw Pillow, Tied Shibori Throw Pillow, Gemstone Box, Air-Dry Clay Bowl, Rolling Trunk Storage, Glass-Cover Pendant Lamp

The Kitchen: Wooden Herb Planter, Rustic Footed Cutting Board, Quilted Cushions, Leather-Loop Tea Towels, Ombre Ceramic Vase

The Dining Room: Heirloom Linen Tablecloth, Indigo-Stripe Napkins, Leather Napkin Rings, Clay Candlesticks, Boro Stitched Trivet, Beaded Light Fixture,

The Bedroom: Framed Cane Headboard; Linen Bedding with Duvet, Shams, and Pillowcases; Simple Stitch Throw Pillow; Sewn Leather Pillow; Trimmed Waffle-Weave Blanket; Modern Latch-Hook Stool; Dyed Fabric Art in Round Mat; Natural Jute Rug; Painted Ceramic Tray; Acrylic Side Table; Refurbished Table Lamp; Boro Stitched Memory Quilt

The Closet: Copper Garment Rack, Leaning Floor Mirror, Wall Shoe Display, Thread-Wrapped Pendant Light, Liberty Print Hamper, Antiqued Mirror Table

The Bathroom: Natural Wood Stump, Oak Tub Tray, Knotted Rope Ladder, Terry-cloth Towels, Leather Wastebasket

The Outdoor Oasis: Simple Sewn Hammock, Painted Wood Stump, Restored-Frame Tray, Ice-Dyed Blanket, Colorwash Sheepskin 

With beautiful photographs of rooms styled with all of the projects, A Well-Crafted Home proves that even the smallest touch of handmade can make a house a home.

A Well-Crafted Home, A Well-Crafted Book
A Well-Crafted Home isn't just a pretty book to put on your coffee table, its inspiration between two French flaps.Like myself, the creator of this book, Janet Crowther was raised by a builder and a baker. I think that influence is visible in the way her book balances style and function.Inside this book you'll find eight sections, each devoted to an area in or around your home. Each project is labeled with a skill level, finished size, and list of what you'll need to get started, as well as being accompanied by color photos and helpful diagrams. The concise numbered instructions for each project are easy to understand and will make getting started a breeze.A Well-Crafted Home is 224 pages long and on trend. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for inspiration and help styling their home with a personalized touch.Thank you to Penguin Random House for sending me a copy of this book to review.

This book is gorgeous - as is every project contained within in it. Every creative, maker, DIY-er and house dweller (so yeah that's pretty much everyone) should have a copy of this. I really love how the author broke it down by room, so you can really personalize every space in your home! It's the perfect marriage of design, style and DIY. I can't wait to begin my first project - the hardest part is going to be choosing which one to start with!

4.0 out of 5 stars For the very crafty
Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2018

This book is visually very pretty and the projects within are very cool. However, this is for a more advanced DIY'er and not for beginners. The directions need to be followed rather meticulously in order for the projects to be successful. It has some really cool ideas though.

5.0 out of 5 stars The detailed instructions are great!! I really appreciate the wonderfully refreshing ideas ...
Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2017

I'm loving this book! The detailed instructions are great!! I really appreciate the wonderfully refreshing ideas that the author shares and that they are not the typically boring DIY ideas found in other books with the "same o same o" ideas, filled with fluff and pretty pictures. When I buy a book with pretty pictures and decorating ideas then that's what I expect to get, but when I buy a book of how tos and DIY then that's what I expect and to actually be able to follow the instructions. So, well done and kudos to this author for bringing us a book with lots of new and creative ideas to create for our homes, with easy to follow instructions that I can actually do myself and I am inspired to do!!
