Salvage style--decorating with repurposed and vintage items
Wicker furniture, cast-iron tubs, polished marble, industrial pendant
lights, and even tractor seats--has become a chic way to create unique,
personal rooms. By reclaiming honest materials and collectibles, large
and small, all imbued with their own history, you can infuse your home
with warmth, charm, and individuality.
Let the experts at Country Living show you how to find and make the
most of discarded treasures, such as old windows, barn doors, metal
military desks, mailroom filing cabinets, factory lamps, and hand-forged
iron hooks. Plus, the editors share best practices for bargain hunting
and obtaining the most desirable cast-offs, such as antique beams and
weathered barn wood. Stunning photos of every room, along with
imaginative ideas from homeowners, will spark your creativity and give
you an eye-opening perspective on the decorative potential of
"trash."
