Matchy-matchy rooms are so yesterday! Today’s spaces are decorated with refurbished pieces that make a statement, add a little flair, and tell a story. These pieces are coming from many places--the flea market, vintage fair, grandmother’s attic, and Goodwill store--and all are getting a new lease on life with a little DIY creativity.
In Junk Beautiful Furniture Re(Freshed), junker extraordinaire and founder of the wildly successful JunkMarket Style community Sue Whitney provides clear and concise step-by-step photos and text for re-fashioning and recasting furniture finds, rethinking accessory pieces, and furniture hacks. Perfect for the younger, instant-gratification market, projects will be low to no skill required and can be completed in a weekend or less. The 30 projects, while having a non-specific design style, can be loosely grouped into the following broad categories: urban industrial, vintage prairie, rustic modern, and contemporary cottage. This "style without borders" approach means that each piece can be unique and fit into a home that reflects the homeowner’s personality.
