Unleash your creativity to design a home you love - a space that is distinctly yours and works in perfect harmony with your lifestyle. Author Lizzie McGraw, the founder of interiors boutique Tumbleweed & Dandelion, has had the honour of designing many different styles of home for all kinds of people. She understands that, when designing a space, one should thoroughly understand the lives of its inhabitants. The creative process is fun and adventurous, though it takes patience, imagination and self-awareness to transform your home into your sanctuary. In Creative Style, Lizzie begins with the basics - textiles, furniture and accessories - and then opens the doors to 12 of her inspiring interiors projects. They include her own 1920s cottage in California, which she has lovingly restored and furnished with flea-market finds and upcycled vintage pieces. This once-neglected building is now light, airy and full of character - a testament to the power of creativity.
