Inspirational Ideas and Over 30 Projects for Using Rescued and Recycled Materials in the Home.
Whimsical cupboards, colourful baskets and bowls, gutsy armchairs and fantasy picture frames can all be created from reclaimed material; something that has already had one life can be rescued and recycled into something new, beautiful and original.
This book looks at salvage, ransacks the reclamation yard and gets expert insights from architects, designers, and enthusiasts on the practical use of recycled materials in the home. Its inspirational ideas are proof of the exciting possibilities of turning unwanted artefacts into objects of desire.
The authors give knowledgeable advice on how reclaimed materials and ornamentation can be used in rooms around the house. Over 200 specially commissioned photographs show recycled materials used imaginatively in real homes. Practical techniques are demonstrated in over 30 easy-to-follow projects that will be at home in any interior from urban chic to traditional style.
To complete the book there is an informative section on 'How To Get It, How To Do It'.
