Customer Reviews

Very informative

This is a one-of-a-kind book with lots of fun projects.

I don't have much money but these ideas are great!!!

I have always wanted to have a home that looked this beautiful, but never have had a lot of money. I have so enjoyed both the satisfaction of doing these unique and very affordable projects and then sitting back and seeing what I have created. I would recommend this book to anyone. I have seen the "Junk Chic", Kathryn Elliott on the local TV morning show (as a quest) - she is inspiring to say the least.

Easy how to and fun all in one book!

This book JUNK CHIC is a great way to make your storage junk into a work of classic art! In easy how-to steps i was able to make a kitchen pot rack out of an old coffee table. and i enjoy every minute looking at my recycled work of art. If you don't already have old furniture or old nick-nacks of your own, this book gives helpful tips on stores where you can get for instance, a 10 dollar sofa! This is a great opportunity to get rid of that old Junk, and turn it into something chic!

Something from Nothing

Step by step Junk Chic shows you how to apply a faux finish to practically anything. Learn how to create something from nothing for minimal cost and effort. Chic for Cheap! From stair rails to flower beds, this book is a treasure chest of ideas.

Cheap, yet Chic...very cool!

This book brought new meaning to the words, "One man's junk is another man's treasure"! I thought the ideas in this book were one of a kind. How many times do you have an old piece of junk just sitting in the garage that someday you'll end up throwing away? If you're interested in making your home your "heaven on earth", this book is a must!
