Library Journal Review
Lifestyle blogger Cho (Blog, Inc.) celebrates pattern, texture, and color in this collection of tips and projects intended to bring whimsy to everyday life. Cho gives a brief overview of her personal aesthetic in a series of photo spreads dedicated to color, pattern, and charm, followed by a number of projects ranging from cooking ideas to gifts and gift wrap to home decor. Some suggestions skew toward oddball territory, such as her "edible confetti" made out of salad greens and fruit skins cut with a hole punch, but several of the others are clever (if a bit cutesy) ways to add sparkle to even the most average day. Though the directions are bare bones, none of the projects are tremendously difficult, and few require specialized skills or supplies. VERDICT Like many lifestyle blogs, there's a diversity of content that makes this book feel scattered-is it about interior decorating? Cooking? Crafting? Personal style? But Cho, who has been blogging since 2005, has enough of a following that her fans will be interested. © Copyright 2015. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
