Christmas at Home

Photography Geoff Hedley

Publication date: 13 October 2014, RRP $59.99- Hardback     

Christmas is a feast for all the senses. A time when we can remember what it is like to be a child again. This book will inspire you to decorate, create and collect, and make your own special Christmas traditions for you and your family.

Create a beautiful home for the holiday season with Sandra Kaminski and Christmas at Home. Whatever your budget, or if time is lacking, even just a small gesture can turn a simple celebration into a memorable occasion. Sandra shows how inspiration may be hiding in the back of your cupboards — turn old or discarded items into wonderful heart-felt gifts or use them to make a table look magical for the night.

With over 600 photographs, Sandra covers preparations for Christmas including choosing and arranging flowers and foliage, and ideas for Christmas trees and candles. There are suggestions for homemade gifts, Christmas stockings and bags, gift wrapping and labels, as well as paper craft and Advent calendars. Create a wonderful table with innovative place settings, napkins, glasses, and an eye-catching centrepiece.

All of this is based around sumptuous themes to get your creative juices flowing — woodland, snowy white, golden pear, regal purple, a French Noel, pretty pastels, a citrus Christmas, perfect pink, a ‘recycled’ Christmas, and a children’s celebration.

SANDRA KAMINSKI began her career in the world of fashion and it soon became obvious that she had a discerning eye for colour, design and texture. Her work now features in numerous publications throughout Europe, the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia, and previous books include Home Living Life Beautifully and Flowers at Home.
