	Since 1875, the name "Liberty" has been synonymous with quality and refinement in home decorating. Now, from kitchen and dining room to the living room, nursery, and dressing room, this book takes the reader around the Liberty home and introduces unique home decorating projects and accessories made up in Liberty fabric. It provides examples of both traditional and contemporary approaches to fabric choices and advice on the use of alternative or complementary non-Liberty fabrics. 250 color drawings. 40 color photos. Liberty & Co., the London-based fabric and interior furnishings concern founded in 1875, is best known for fabrics using Arts and Crafts patterns from the early part of the 20th century. But this is not acknowledged in the introductory essay by Sarah Nichols, who chooses to show the complexity of the firm's production of interior furnishings in addition to their fabric. With no definition of the Liberty style, these soft-furnishings sewing projects for the home seem purposeless. That, plus the hard-to-follow instructions and lack of any U.S. sources for purchasing Liberty fabrics, make this a marginal purchase. Copyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc.
