Doing Up A Dump

Barty Phillips

A mine of colourful and practical home-making ideas on a limited budget

Doing Up A dump is mainly for young prople, but I'd like to think that
anyone with property (rented or owned) and on a limited budget could
enjoy and make use of its ideas.  The ideas themselves, of course, are
only puffs of air. It's the way that they are put to gether will make them
successful.  They are all practicable, practical, cheerful, often stylish
and usually fun.  Many of them are far from new, but such ideas come
into their own time and time again, especially with the present-day
problems of finding cheap accomodation and coping on a meagre
income.
All the ideas in this book can be adapted to different types and sizes
of home and the varying attitudes and tastes of the people in them.  Most
of the photographs are of actual homes and the ideas shown really are
cheap.
