New Old House: Designing With Reclaimed Materials

Rating:
Summary: Nice picture book...
Review: Nice picture book of rustic homes built with recycled materials, however if you are looking for actual how to knowledge this isn't the book. I was hoping for more information on the "how", but instead the author focused almost exclusively on the final product. Would have been nice to see a "beginning to end", with details on how the material was salvaged, prepared, and installed.

Summary: Wonderful Resource
Review: We have been working on restoring an old victorian for some time now, and this book has been a valuable resource. Through it we found such places as Noreast Architectural Antiques of Massachusetts, who we would never have known existed without this reference. I highly recommend this book. Today I am ordering a second copy to give as a gift...
