From Library Journal
These books provide a multitude of projects to transform items found in salvage yards, thrift stores, flea markets, and yard sales into beautiful decorative accessories. In Junk Chic, Elliot uses her own home as an example of what can be done with cheap finds, and the transformation is quite remarkable and innovative. Powell focuses on how to incorporate flea market finds into decorating schemes, illustrating her suggestions with color photographs and interspersing projects throughout. Rhatigan discusses items found in architectural salvage yards where pieces of houses wind up before demolition. His projects range from simple (transforming a metal porch support into a corner shelf) to more complex (building a blanket chest from salvaged doors), and safety tips on working with metal, glass, and wood are provided. Though for each book, too few illustrations are provided with the well-written directions, skilled crafters will still find the projects here useful. Recommended for public libraries where there is an interest.

From Booklist
No room-by-room rehabilitation of found objects for Georgia artist Powell. Instead, the focus is on groups of like items--lamps, metal ware, and wooden chairs--and how to "revive" them. Color photographs take up most of the space; a bakers' dozen or so of make-it-yourself ideas and directions allow readers the luxury of simply browsing or actually doing. Her creations are wondrously whimsical and imaginative. Barbara Jacobs

Reader Reviews
This review is from: Tattered Treasures: Stylish Decorating with Flea Market Finds (Paperback)
Vintage fabric, architectural refuse, wood chairs, china, glass, containers, photos frames, metal work, lamps, shells embellish homes' visual universe with color, shape and a sense of human interaction. The background of our lives and human relationships are recorded in the objects we create, handle, use daily. That history charms and warms our homes and Tattered Treasures celebrates the broken pieces for their evocation of people and times past. Full page photos of chips, dings, warped and loved mementos. A book to reminisce by. Enjoy.
