Parkes Phoenix

Home Sweet Home

November 3, 2016 By Maggi Barnard

Karen Creith, launched her second book last Thursday night at the Parkes Services Club. Surrounded by friends, suppliers and family Karen and John released Home Sweet Home to an enthusiastic response. This is the second book Karen has written and follows on from the success of her coffee table book, The Art of Fluffing.

The latest book is jam packed with valuable and easy to follow information that will help to eliminate stress whether you are a home decorator, renovator or a first time builder. Karen covers all the key areas of planning and selecting finishes for your home, as well as how to add the final styling touches to your home.

Karen always keeps her tips extremely simple and accurate, and for the first time, includes her own Little Black Book directory to enable you to connect with all the local contractors and stores that you will need when you are ready to start work on your project. Karen and John combined on the book and it was obvious from their thanks to each
other that they are a real team who work, live and play together. Priced at $19.99, it is perfect for the Christmas stocking of all home decorators, renovators and builders.
