About the Author Heidi Boyd is the author of ten books with North Light Books, most notably the Simply Beautiful series. She crafts at the dining table, where she can keep an eye on the family and dash out the door for the next carpool. Her goal is to make sophisticated design approachable and easy for all. She has a fine arts degree and got her start in professional crafting as a contributor to Better Homes and Gardens books and magazines. Her husband, Jon Boyd, has been helping behind the scenes with many book projects. He is a LEED-accredited, licensed architect with twenty years of commercial and residential design experience. This is the first time he’s contributed designs, drawings and projects of his own. Together, Heidi and Jon and their three children actively enjoy the natural beauty of their midcoast Maine home.
