great source of ideas
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I like this book for ideas but haven't found anything to actually make yet because the projects seem to require either a) very difficult to find items or b) too much work than this girl can do (with a toolbox and basic saw). But in terms of being inspirational, I like this book for that.
An unexpectedly beautiful and varied photographic journey
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Second-Hand Style: Finding And Renewing Antique Treasures by Paris-based professional jewelry designer cRis Dupouy (whose work has been commissioned by such noted patrons as the Musee de l'Opera and the Musee des Arts Decoratifs, as well as many Parisian fashion designers) is an unexpectedly beautiful and varied photographic journey of the wonders that can be accomplished by cleaning out one's attic and sprucing up the hidden treasures within. Some directions are included for readers who wish to make similar creations to the wonders depicted within, but the true joy of Second-Hand Style lies in its brilliant, full-color photography of some truly splendid and inspirational creations. Second-Hand Style is a heartily recommended addition to personal, professional, and community library reference collections.
