Kurzbeschreibung
For anyone who reads the local Pennysaver or swap sheet, for anyone who can't drive by a yard sale without turning in, for anyone on lookout for treasures in Grandma's attic, or for anyone who just likes to collect - welcome to "American Junk," the bible for a new generation of foragers." Author Mary Randolph Carter, herself a passionate "junker, " takes us on a tour of tag sales, auctions, and flea markets around the country, where she and other devotees of the sport have discovered unique and remarkable items that they then transform from bargains to prized booty. She introduces us to and takes us into the homes of these unusually creative people, who share her belief that thrift, economy, and ingenuity translate into high style indeed. There are before-and-after pictures, tips on repair and storage hints on how to bargain, ideas for themed collections and even a list of what to bring on junking expeditions. The author reveals the price of almost every one of the hundreds and hundreds of items pictured, and best of all provides a directory to more than two "junking sites" nationwide. "American Junk" is a one-of-a-kind book for those who appreciate the rare, the idiosyncratic, and the unexpected - those who realize that there are as many kinds of junk as there are individuals.
Synopsis
A guide to decorating the home using objects acquired at flea markets, auctions, and garage sales features before-and-after photographs, prices, a listing of auction houses, and tips on bargaining, cleaning, and camouflage.

The book was great! Wonderful pictures, and helpful hints on the "how-to's"! I highly recommend this book to anyone who is hunting for good old AMERICAN JUNK!
Format:Taschenbuch
Indeed, Mary Randolph Carter is a kindred spirit to anyone who finds Martha Stewart's ideas too pricey and exclusive. This eye-boggling array of color, texture and whimsy is not only helpful to those of us who appreciate junk treasures, but also inspiring simply as a visual workout; Carter's way with disparate objects and her eye for composition is helpful to anyone contemplating any interior project, whether dealing in new OR vintage. One of my all-time favorites and one I consult again and again, whenever I want to wriggle free my artistic sensibilities.

Fabulous! Fabulous! Fabulous! As a decorator/designer this wonderful book was just a marvelous help to me in finding and paying the right price for those one-of-a-kind treasures clients just love you to death for. I found most of Ms. Carter's tips on junk just ever so clever; the type that make you say "now why didn't I think of that". And the wonderful color photos alone make this book something you'll want to keep looking at over and over.

Not very instructional for" transforming' junk
I ordered this book and then returned it. I did not find it very helpful at all as far as restoration goes. I have read many many books on flea markets, garage sale finds. Lesen Sie weiter...
