In a world dominated by the chainstore and a throw-away culture, this book reveals the inspirational side to recycling, helping you to assess and exploit flea-market, junk-shop or attic finds as a resource for our own creativity.
The author shows how to develop that all important keen eye, guided by your own sense of style and backed up by practical advice on spotting star potential and avoiding bad buys. Presented in a question-and-answer format, clear instructions and simple techniques advise you how to rejuvenate and re-invent the neglected or the mundane.
Thus informed, follow your instincts to detect hidden treasure in unexpected guises, and make impressive transformations with fresh finishes and new uses.
