A cool book with each chapter focused on a different reno/home design using reclaimed and salvaged items. The authors are the owners of Woodward Throwbacks, a Detroit based shop.

Each chapter focused on a different property and each one was better than the last. I love the quirky items they used and how they used them - the properties were stunning.
