Book Description
Clean out that attic and go to that rummage sale! Among the racks of items at garage sales and flea markets lie diamonds in the rough: candlesticks, lampshades, picture frames, and furniture that, with just a little imagination, can be transformed from junk into household jewels. This crafty, creative, how-to title features 42 easy and affordable projects with step-by-step instructions that teach readers how to refurbish their findsand use them to accent their home decor.
Using common art supplies and some elbow grease, anyone can turn faded treasures into retro-chic, totally unique home accessories. Feathered candelabras, sequined mules, a tea cozy knit from old sweaters: the 179 color photographs not only illustrate each stage of a project, but also showcase fabulously funky interiors chockful of inspirational details.
Reader Reviews
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.
