Decorating JunkMarket Style

~ Re-purposed Junk to Suit Any Decor ~

Sue Whitney and Ki Nassauer

204 Pages Fully Illustrated

Published 2005

Fully illustrated and easy to navigate, "Decorating JunkMarket Style" is a resource, that those committed to reinventing the wheel, should have in their collection.

This book is filled with an array of cool re-purposed creative restyled ideas. The JunkMarket Queen's redesign of various reclaimed materials and things some may see as Junk is truly inspiring.

Junk for many is a four letter word! Many people don't see the relevance in applying the green factor to things that will sit curbside and then possibly end up in a landfill somewhere.

These women have managed to re-purpose old and discarded drawers, galvanised window wells, bed posts, vintage rulers, shutters, frames, etc.

"Decorating JunkMarket Style" is filled with Tips, Do-It-Yourself (D.I.Y.) and easy to follow projects, large & small.

Design books are full of ideas and if nothing else are meant to wet your own artistic appetite and get you inspired.

One man's Junk is another man's Junk redesign!

Reclaim ~ Repurpose reCREATE

Book Review by DeeBeeCool 2013

Found Objects

As mentioned in the last post "Treasure Hunting" is something that is motivated by my desire to go out and find things that I can use when tackling and creating my various artistic endeavours. 

 

For example when I am styling an event, interior, exterior or nondescript space I may have to find something that makes it all work or pulls the look together.

"Found Objects" are usually items I stumble upon 

without intention of finding them. 

They find me!

These Found Objects often find a place in my Art Work, they may star or be a supporting role in Vignettes within a given styling project. Sometimes they form part of a collection.

For both Treasure Hunting and Found Objects I am often interested in the history, the story behind things and how the reclaiming of this item gives it added LIFE. 

 

Reuse ~ Re-purpose ~ re CREATE

Treasure Hunting

Naturally Inquisitive,

I have a burning desire to "search for stuff", "treasure trove", "hunt for things" that, I can re-purpose or reconstruct into something else. 

 

As a green Artist and Stylist my desire to reCREATE by reclaiming and re-purposing is just what I do.
