Recycle!: "Salvage Style in Your Home", "Salvage Style in Your Garden" - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Moira and Nicholas Hankinson are masters of fashioning the coveted from the cast-off, and "Recycle!" is their invaluable compendium of over 60 practical projects for the home and garden. Whether your motives are those of environmental conservation, or just desperation to avoid another fruitless weekend at the garden centre only to emerge with a set of pine furniture identical to the one you bought three years ago, "Recycle!" is full of examples of ersatz style which all of us can achieve. Divided into chapters which include Bedrooms, Bathrooms and Boudoirs, Decorative Accessories and even The Themed Garden, these celebrated designers give concise instructions on how to create each design, from the modest transformation of a shutter into a CD rack to the sizeable excavations of railway sleeper steps. Their helpful advice helps you through each project with clear step-by-steps and photography to guide you as well as a list of all the equipment and resources you will need. More than a practical design manual, "Recycle!" offers readers a whole new perception of everyday objects around us: as the authors themselves warn, once you attempt one design, you could very soon find yourself giving your parents' discarded breadbin deep gazes of appraisal, or making nocturnal visits to your local tip.
