Description |
Moira and Nicholas Hankinson are masters of fashioning the coveted from the
cast-off, and Recycle! is their invaluable compendium of over 60 practical
projects for the home and garden. Whether your motives are those of
environmental conservation, or just desperation to avoid another fruitless
weekend at the garden centre only to emerge with a set of pine furniture
identical to the one you bought three years ago, Recycle! is full of
examples of ersatz style which all of us can achieve. Divided into chapters
which include Bedrooms, Bathrooms and Boudoirs, Decorative Accessories and
even The Themed Garden, these celebrated designers give concise instructions
on how to create each design, from the modest transformation of a shutter
into a cd rack to the sizeable excavations of railway sleeper steps. Their
helpful advice helps you through each project with clear step-by-steps and
photography to guide you as well as a list of all the equipment and
resources you will need. More than a practical design manual, Recycle!
offers readers a whole new perception of everyday objects around us: as the
authors themselves warn, once you attempt one design, you could very soon
find yourself giving your parents' discarded breadbin deep gazes of
appraisal, or making nocturnal visits to your local tip. |
