Synopsis

Decorating with Great Finds proves the old adage "one man's trash is another man's treasure." Following the step-by-step instructions, you can: -renovate an heirloom trunk, upholster an antique footstool, refurbish stained glass, and repair the broken wood carvings of a picture frame -preserve an authentic aged finish that is crackled, worn, or weathered- or simulate these finishes with modern techniques. -transform old items to give them new uses, perhaps making a pot rack from an old window frame or a coffee table from a weathered door -sew country pillows from feed bags and old quilts, or elegant traditional pillows from tapestries -frame cherished photographs and documents, using techniques that help preserve them, and create shadow boxes filled with memorabilia.
