Description:
This is a great book for flea-market enthusiasts and bargain hunters who, with some creativity and the techniques clearly outlined within, can transform even the homeliest of garage-sale finds into colorful, lively, and whimsical additions to the home and turn old hand-me-downs into delightful treasures. In all, 25 projects are described in detail. No-sew slip covers, frosted-glass doors, distressed-paint dressers, punched-tin screens, stenciled wicker chairs, and decorative fabric hangings and draperies are only some of the funky, colorful, and fun projects laid out here. Wagstaff notes all the tools and materials needed, as well as many shortcuts and simple ways to transform lackluster furniture into the eye-catching highlights of any room--without spending a bundle in the process. This is a great book for beginners and people working on a budget who desire dramatic, creative, and professional-looking results. The book even has a vinyl, wipe-clean binding that makes it practical to keep handy in the work area! --Mark A. Hetts
