How Much Do You Need?: A Complete Estimating Handbook for Interior Design

For a do-it-yourself decorator, it s a disaster to discover in the middle of a project that you didn t buy enough materials to finish it. But on the other hand, buying more than you need can be expensive and wasteful. How Much Do You Need? provides the antidote to both of those problems. It s a unique pocket-size shopping reference with easy-to-follow instructions and rule-of-thumb formulas for determining the quantities of materials needed for everything from hanging wallpaper and tiling floors to sewing curtains and re-covering chair seats. The simple, minimal text, accompanied by charts, graphs, and line drawings, also contains a visual dictionary of components and styles, such as line drawings for different kinds of drapery headings.
