Book Overview
Thrift stores, flea markets, basements, and attics offer plenty of inexpensive - or even free materials that, with a little imagination and transformation, can become exquisite decorative items. But do you feel at a loss when you look at that battered table, those surplus chairs or those seemingly past-their-prime decorative objects? Dozens of beautiful and unique projects provide the answer to you quandary with a wealth of inspiration and how-to guidance. So, instead of regretfully passing by that bargain, you'll eagerly apply painted finishes and other craft techniques to bring out the hidden beauty in almost any kind of furniture and accent pieces. Discarded wooden cupboard doors give a boring hallway new life as a Secrete Garden., and pair of beaten-up lamps become living room accessories. Recycle an old trunk by making it into a table. Re-upholster outdated chairs with the magic of a glue gun and some fabric.

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!

This book brought new meaning to the words, "One man's junk is another man's treasure"! I thought the ideas in this book were one of a kind. How many times do you have an old piece of junk just sitting in the garage that someday you'll end up throwing away?
