I have always wanted to have a home that looked this beautiful, but never have had a lot of money. I have so enjoyed both the satisfaction of doing these unique and very affordable projects and then sitting back and seeing what I have created. I would recommend this book to anyone. I have seen the "Junk Chic", Kathryn Elliott on the local TV morning show (as a quest) - she is inspiring to say the least.
Easy how to and fun all in one book!

This book JUNK CHIC is a great way to make your storage junk into a work of classic art! In easy how-to steps i was able to make a kitchen pot rack out of an old coffee table. and i enjoy every minute looking at my recycled work of art. If you don't already have old furniture or old nick-nacks of your own, this book gives helpful tips on stores where you can get for instance, a 10 dollar sofa! This is a great opportunity to get rid of that old Junk, and turn it into something chic!
