Designer, author and television personality, Mark Montano, is launching the next book in his effusive Big Ass Book series, The Big Ass Book of Home Décor on April 1st. Specializing in turning the “mundane into the insane” on any budget, Montano’s creativity and exuberant personality have made him a household name in the interior design and fashion worlds. The Big Ass Book of Crafts was published in 2008 and is currently the number one selling craft book in the US.

Montano translates his mantra of “perfectly imperfect” into range of customized home makeover possibilities. From colorful walls to decorative dinnerware sets to dramatic bedrooms, The Big Ass Book of Home Décor is a do-it-yourself treasure tome of design projects, complete with easy to follow instructions, images and personalized tips.

Highlights include the “Chinese Mat-Covered Table” (reinvent your table and change the ambience of the entire room at minimal cost); the “Incredible Ikea Ideas” chapter (easy ways to transform your Ikea furniture into chic one-of-a-kinds) “Must-Have Matting” (an accessible option for wall art with endless possibilities); and the “Red-and-Gold Lace Mirror” (turn an old mirror into a work of art).

“You don’t have to break the bank or search endlessly for the perfect piece for your home; doing it yourself is fun and inspiring,” says Mark Montano. “This Big Ass book has 300 pages of ideas to be as creative as you want–use it as a jumping point to spring yourself into the master of your own house.”
