This book is about salvaging, recovering, reclaiming, restoring and re-purposeing old junk. Stuff that other people have discarded, and have, for reasons of their own, decided were only good for the landfill. It is full of "before and after" photos of things that I have picked up at the dump, and transformed into functional items that furnish my home. Since I was a child, I never wanted to be the same as everybody else, and later in life when it came to owning my own home, I didn't want one the same as everyone else. It had to have unique features, be interesting and cozy - things that Gib board, MDF skirtings and white ceilings could not provide - so I went looking for alternatives, some examples of which are included in this book. There is also a section at the back, sharing some of the Tips, Tricks and furniture finishing recipes I have discovered along the way.
