Salvage Style is the perfect book for anyone with a passion for recycling and a love of beautiful, creative things. It features gorgeous, decorator-style photos that provide plenty of inspiration, but it balances them with a wealth of information about the importance of reusing perfectly good materials and the process of doing so. All of the projects have detailed, step-by-step directions---complete with photos for the more visually minded folks out there---and most of them are easy to replicate. If you're looking to expand your mind and look at common materials in a new light, this book will fan the fires of your creativity in ways you never imagined!

This is a great book for anyone wanting to decorate using recycled finds. However, if you've already purchased books by these authors, save your money. Salvage Style for your home is the same material for the most part page for page as their book "Recycle" or maybe "Recycle" is hugely identical to "Salvage Style". A large portion of the pictures and pages are simply republished with a new title.

A lot of the home decor books that come out have beautiful plans, that are virtually impossible for the average person to accomplish. This is not the case with Salvage Style in Your Home. All of the projects they show are not only easy, but very pretty too!

The pictures and instructions are very user friendly, and easy to follow. And the items that they use are not hard to find. It's not like when you watch a home decorating show and you think," I love how that looks, but where do I find it!? " The book uses things like slate roof tiles and axe handles to create the most appealing things. I mean, when you see how they use and old shutter to make a cd rack you will be amazed!

Salvage Style for Your Home is every frugal home decorator's dream book! It's a book of inspiration and I highly suggest you give it a read!

This book is a very good guide to recycling old items and creating new uses for them. Environmentalists everywhere will certainly appreciate the reuse of older items. The book is illustrated very well and the photographs are nicely done.

This book is a little cheezy... it is close, but it is almost like they made up a few projects just to fill the book... it is OK, but not yet there...they are getting close... a little too chatskee...
