“At House Beautiful we hear all the time from talented and creative readers who have an eye for style and design and, having decorated and furnished their own homes, would love to take that talent further afield than their own front door…We’ve combined forces with author Emma Jones to bring you an inspired yet down-to-earth guide to help you achieve your dream. Inside we feature 12 case studies of individuals who have successfully turned a hobby or interest into a business that they love.”

Armed with all this knowledge, readers will have the tools they
need to follow in the footsteps of someone like Jenny McCabe, who set up her handprinted and handmade textiles business Coo & Co, or Sonia Mundey who had a lucky break that kickstarted her interior design business Yellow Book Interiors.
