BOOKS





Shannon Fricke's sense of style series (published by Murdoch Books) is all about developing individuality & a unique 'sense of style' through the way that we decorate our homes.
'i think that everyone has the ability to create a beautifully decorated home - one that we love living in, that reflects who they are & their unique experiences in the world. Sometimes, it is merely a lack of confidence that stops us from feeling able to make that happen. My aim with the sense of style series is to give people the tools that they need to build their decorating confidence & create a space that is personal & fulfilling to live in'
