In this beautiful book, Mark and Sally Bailey uncover the potential of disregarded or abandoned household items, giving them a new lease on life. Advocating pared-down simplicity, they focus on the integrity of materials and their surface quality--chipped paint showing the layers beneath, rough unfinished textures-combined with clean lines, or old materials combined with modern ones. "Restoration Home" looks at the key components: Architectural Details, Flooring & Lighting, Furnishings, Storage, and Display. A section on Rooms shows how well the recycled look can work in the kitchen, living areas. bathrooms, bedrooms, and working rooms. The directory of resources will help you find the right pieces for your home. - "The Baileys' phenomenon has spawned a generation of chic salvage lovers" Livingetc. - Striking photography by Debi Treloar

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Restoration Home (Hardcover)
I love this book. It gave me so many ideas just using found objects and paint or by just taking the paint off. This is my number one decorating book. I wish the authors shop was close to me and not in England! I would love to visit or even work there. If you love driftwood, tarnished object family heirlooms and chipped paint this is your style!

Not just for the pictures,
By Usonian33 (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Color Design Sourcebook: Using Fabrics, Paints & Accessories for Successful Decorating (Hardcover)
The designs of many of the rooms have a modern British feel, and I'm not in love with them (they remind me of the Terrance Conran books). BUT...the prose in this book is outstanding, and the author has a grasp of the use of cool and warm colors, and what colors tend to look best with others. This is probably the most "entertaining" read you are going to find out of a color design book (most color books are pretty bad). You'll refer to this often.
