In a world that is dominated by the chainstore and the throw-away culture, this book reveals the inspirational side to recycling, helping you to assess and exploit flea-market, junk-shop or attic finds as a resource for our own creativity. The author shows how to develop that all-important keen eye, guided by your own sense of style and backed up by practical advice on spotting star potential and avoiding bad buys. Presented in a question-and-answer format, clear instructions and simple techniques advise you how to rejuvenate and re-invent the neglected or the mundane. Thus informed, follow your instincts to detect hidden treasure in unexpected guises, and make impressive transformations with fresh finishes and new uses.
