Three "Cool" Little Books ~ Series #1

Reading Interior Design and Architectural Books is something I enjoy doing. These types of books are both resourceful and inspirational for me. 
I find the photography enchants me! Drawing me into a world I am fascinated by...
Although, I am actually open to reading most anything,  
giving it a chance as it were, I definitely have personal design preferences 
as it pertains to interiors and exteriors. 
Everyone has the right to make their own decorating choices, creating their living space in which to relax and refuel..
Three "Cool" Little Books is a series of mini reviews of the many books that I own or have borrowed.  Consider checking out some of these books
 Feel free to let others know what you thought of the book.

Enjoy Three "Cool" Little Books...

D.I.Y. Projects

It's a great feeling when you actually make something. 

There are two ways in which I typically DESIGN. 

I call it the chicken or egg syndrome.

 

The Egg ~ I usually start by designing something in my head, I love sketching out the idea, then I material source and then physically work it out, proceeding to see it through to fruition. 

 

The Chicken ~ I usually find something or have something, then the ideas start flowing as to how I can make it different, better, functional or just plain COOL. 

~ reclaim, re-purpose, reCREATE ~

 

I believe that another man's garbage is another man's treasure
