Synopsis

This title offers a transformation to the bland sameness of our everyday items by remaking, restyling and reusing. Using easy craft techniques - such as embroidery, painting, stamping and stencilling - the book delivers 40 projects for transforming plain dishes, linens, storage containers, mirrors and much more. There are simple step-by-steps, designs to trace or photocopy and beautiful colour photographs to accompany each piece. With sophisticated, high-end design values, the book is as lovely to look at as it is to use and will encourage even beginning crafters to take their everyday home items from ordinary to extraordinary.Sonia Lucano studied at France's National School of Decorative Arts. Today she works in fashion and design. Fred Lucano is a commercial photographer specialising in fashion and home decor. They live in Paris.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Transform basic items into boutique-worthy home decor

• Transform just-lying-around things to sit-up-and-take-notice things!

• Transform junk into junque!

• Transform your friends’ skin tones from normal to green with envy!

We’ve all got the furniture and the home accessories we can afford. Our stuff came from Target, or Ikea, or Pottery Barn, or Dan’s Dent-and-Ding Depot. Wherever it came from, it’s pretty vanilla. Wistfully, we look through the windows at tony boutiques, admiring the little hand-painted chest, or the exquisite artisan vase, or the beaded curtains, and we ask, “Why was I blessed with such fabulous taste, only to be constantly depressed because these beautiful things are out of my reach financially?” Good news! With ReMake ReStyle ReUse, anyone can create 40 stunning, sophisticated home items, just like the ones in those high-end shops. Only the most basic craft skills are assumed, and everything is provided, including simple step-by-step directions, designs to trace or photocopy, and glowing photographs for instruction and inspiration.
