Refresh Your Home for Spring!

     Spring is in the air and it's time to dust off those flower pots and clean out the cobwebs. We have a number of resources here at the library to help you with your spring cleaning and sprucing up. One resource that you may not have considered is our magazine collection. We have magazines available for check-out and digital magazines that can be viewed anywhere you have an internet connection.

     Thinking of starting a garden for the spring or want new ideas for your existing garden space? We have Mississippi Gardener, Southern Living, and Garden & Gun. Thinking of repainting and redecorating a room or two in your home? Why not check out House Beautiful, Traditional Home, or Country Living? Want to learn some new recipes to for that spring cocktail party. Why not check out Food Network Magazine, Rachael Ray Everyday, or Good Housekeeping?

     While the library offers a wide array of home decorating and improvement books, sometimes you want the latest styles and ideas to help you refresh your home. Magazines are a great way to do that. If you don't feel like coming into the library to check one of these out, then why not check out our online magazines? You can find them by following this link:

Spruce Up Your Home with Fabric!

While completing a reference question for a patron yesterday, I stumbled across a wonderful book in the "746.6" Dewey Decimal Classifcation!  For all of you non-librarians, this classification number is one of my favoirtes because it's where we file all of our wonderful craft books...and I will never have time to examine all of them!  The book that caught my eye was Susie Stokoe's Fabric Decorating Step-by-Step Project Book.  This book was published in the United Kingdom, and is a beautifully illustrated book.  The volume contains 95 ideas for printing, stenciling, painting and dyeing items that will look beautiful in your home.  This book is perfect for the homewowner who is looking to "re-do" his/her home with little money, by simply creating functional art items.  The book is divided into six "fabric decorating technique" chapters, plus a section on supplies and templates for many of the projects included in the book. The projects range from easy to difficult and each includes a detailed list of directions complete with photographs of each step.  One of my favorite projects is the fish-stencilled Shower Curtain on pg. 53! This is a great book for anyone who wants to try their hand a creating a unique fabric item for their home.
