More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
This book takes 20 of the most commonly-found items of junk furniture - such as tables, chairs, chests of drawers and cabinets - and shows how they may be transformed into furniture to be proud of. It introduces a wide range of techniques and materials via step-by-step instructions and photography; this, coupled with suggestions for other applications of the techniques, provides the reader with a solid base of ideas for experimentation. Popular decorative techniques such as decoupage, stencilling, gilding punched tin, mosaic and paint effects are employed on glass, metal and wood.

In this book Linda shows how delicate and beautiful creativity can be. With easy-to-follow techniques she she gives us valuable insights about re-using old things, bringing them back to life and giving us that sense of achievement. This is one of my favourite books of the kind.

I thought this would be inspirational but unfortunately not. It's very dull and not what I expected. I thought they would be really gorgeous projects but they were more like something you'd find in your granny's. It does however show you a few paint effects. I'll be bringing it to the charity shop, I'm afraid.
