Salvage style--decorating with repurposed and vintage items



Wicker furniture, cast-iron tubs, polished marble, industrial pendant lights, and even tractor seats--has become a chic way to create unique, personal rooms. By reclaiming honest materials and collectibles, large and small, all imbued with their own history, you can infuse your home with warmth, charm, and individuality.



Let the experts at Country Living show you how to find and make the most of discarded treasures, such as old windows, barn doors, metal military desks, mailroom filing cabinets, factory lamps, and hand-forged iron hooks. Plus, the editors share best practices for bargain hunting and obtaining the most desirable cast-offs, such as antique beams and weathered barn wood. Stunning photos of every room, along with imaginative ideas from homeowners, will spark your creativity and give you an eye-opening perspective on the decorative potential of "trash."

Includes index.

Library Journal Review

Crafts and design author Linsley (Nantucket: Island Living) turns her attention to using junkyard finds in home decor. Taking examples from homes previously shown in Country Living magazine, she points out how the inhabitants have incorporated these items in kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, and living and dining rooms. They include salvaged items that have been repurposed, such as garden trellises used as headboards, and materials that have been reclaimed, such as barn wood used for cabinets. In addition, Linsley demonstrates how to integrate flea-market finds into the mix, a common focus of many decorating guides. A list of salvage sources across the United States is included. -VERDICT Country Living Rustic Homes handled a similar design theme, but since country style still rules the decorating scene, this book will be a beneficial addition to large collections. © Copyright 2017.
