Creative Home Decorating – Easy Ideas for a Beautiful Home
This is a large binder that is filled with 10 different sections.  It was a subscription service where each month you got a couple cards to put into each section.  I had the subscription for over a year, but there are probably some cards missing (although the binder seems full).

The sections include:
Planning Rooms & Problem Solving; Creating with Color; Shopping Smart; Winning Ways with Windows; Clever Makeovers for Furniture; Bright Ideas for Walls and Floors; Creative Displays and Storage; Decorating with Plants and Flowers; Soft Touches for Pillows & Accessories; and Special Looks for Holidays & Celebrations.

Each section has a single project on a fold-out card.  There’s a lot of cute stuff in the book, and it’s in excellent condition. I believe the cost was around $9.95 per month for each set of cards, and if I’m not mistaken I had the subscription for more than a year.

$20.00 plus postage or best offer when in combination with other items.  Note that has a lot of pages and is heavy.
