LET´S HEAR IT FOR THE GIRLS!
If the thought of DIY without your very own knight in shining armour to rescue you from decorating disaster brings you out in hives, rather than excitement, then have no fear - help has arrived - and it´s in the form of Abigail Ahern´s brand new book, ´A Girl´s Guide to Decorating´, published by Quadrille, £16.99.

Demystifying many ´handy-man´ jobs and arming us girlies with all we need to know on how to create an interior scheme from start to finish, Abigail has made sure that if her oh-so-easy-to-follow advice doesn´t get us reaching for a hammer and nails, then the inspirational photography throughout the book by Graham Atkins -Hughes will.
Whether you take Abigail´s advice and plan a colourful room with confidence, or go to town on pattern, her step-by-step interiors guide will enable you to decorate with personality and the reassurance of using tried and tested design techniques.
