Flea markets, auctions, skips, salvage yards, the attic, the garden shed - the sources of junk are limitless. It takes just a little imagination to turn these cast-offs into treasures, for a look that is relaxed, unpretentious and endlessly appealing.
In this inspiring book, Melanie Molesworth shows how you can create a completely individual look in your home by using those objects that a previous generation discarded.
Junk can take many forms - from old church benches to huge chesterfield sofas, from ancient curtains that have faded in the sun to checked woollen picnic blankets, from laundry hampers and lamps to collections of garden tools. It just takes a little imagination to recycle these cast-offs into the furnishings, accessories and decorations of a stylish and ecologically friendly twenty-first-century home.
