Handmade Modern

Data Images Bus 300 125 0060591250 Designer Todd Oldham shows you how to make 50 easy but wonderful furniture and decorating projects in his book, Handmade Modern: Mid-Century Inspired Projects for Your Home.

Because I edit a how-to magazine (Make), I have learned to appreciate well-designed step-by-step instructions, and I give this book an A+. The photography is excellent, as are the instructions themselves.

I haven't made any of the projects, but I plan to try the Eames-like room divider, the storage bench, and the planter bench. Prepare to be amazed by this book.
