Book Description
What used to be grandpa's Saturday ritual has become a national craze. Flea markets are not just for grandpa anymore as the shabby chic obsession takes over. This book shows readers how to get the shabby chic look on a budget by giving new life to inexpensive second-hand furniture and finding unusual ways to make something out of nothing.

This full-color handbook contains 220 color photos and gives simple do-it-yourself techniques and products to show readers how to transform inexpensive castoffs into priceless accents for the home. Readers are encouraged to look past the wobbly legs, terrible paint jobs and faded fabrics. Through 16 projects and a special section of basic techniques, the book showcases the principles of making something from nothing and how even the most unsightly pieces can be transformed into spectacular additions to the home. From minor fixes to complete overhauls, this book addresses all levels of skill.
