The Paper Shade Book: Simple Techniques for Making Beautiful Lampshades
These four books supply a multitude of projects for the  do-it-yourselfer. The Paper Shade Book, for instance,  illustrates various styles for all types of lamps, while Making  Decorative Screens demonstrates how to make framed and  solid-panel screens using various techniques such as decoupage,  paint finishes, mosaic, and fabric; each give well-written and  illustrated instructions for each project. Both Painted Chairs,  which shows whimsical painted decorations for all types of  chairs, and Floor Style, which employs techniques such as  stenciling and staining for indoors and outdoors, show the  finished product with well-written instructions but few  illustrations, which makes these two books better suited to  experienced crafters.
