4.0 out of 5 stars Making the most of junk, September 17, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Eco Deco: Chic Ecological Design Using Recycled Materials (Hardcover)

Overall, I thought this book had some pretty interesting home decorating ideas. I am a person that loves to use strange materials and well, junk as a source for home decor. That being the case, this may not be a good book for those with more conventional tastes. Included are how-to instructions for many of the projects that are featured. The projects appear to span a broad range of skill levels, from true craftspersons to novices like myself. A favorite project of mine is how to use soda cans to make a quite funky candelabra (sp?). This book was inspirational; however, I have not yet attempted any of the projects and expect that some of them may be more difficult that they are portrayed to be.

Artistic, but not very practical new uses for old things. Lovely pictures, but a lot of the stuff would have looked better if it was painted or something...
