review 1: I loved this book! I love to decorate but try to live on a budget. It was great to see how you can decorate a great room and save lots of money. I shop thrift stores, yard sales and have been know to use spray paint and a sheet to re-do a chair or piece of furniture. This book gave me ideas to look for. Shared what is considered a good piece and worthwhile to buy and what is not. How to share different periods in your rooms for a put together and interesting look. How one or two high end pieces will help the second hand pieces look even better than they are.Now if only I could clone myself to finish my craft room and the neat things I have been working on and planning. I have spray paint and book shelf to finish! If you like decorating and saving money and having a great l... moreooking home, this book is for you!
review 2: An inspiring and helpful book for those interested in repurposing, upcycling and interior design. Lara Spencer knows her way around a flea market and isn't afraid to brag about her secondhand finds. It's not so much a how-to book as it a visual stimulus for creative ideas. Still, I'd say that for any secondhand treasure hunter looking to turn their humble abode into a fashionable and functioning place to live...this book has a lot to offer. less
