I love the idea of this book, the pictures are beautiful and it has really gotten me excited to try incorporating more vintage, salvage and repurposed items into my home instead of buying new all the time. If it has gotten me so excited about this, then I'm sure it will make many people who read this book feel the same way, and that makes me like the book more. That said, I don't think I actually learned a lot from actually reading any of the content in the book. It is mostly just general common sense stuff.

So if you want the book just to look at the pictures and inspire you to start incorporating this into your home more (which I highly recommend doing!) then I recommend this book but let's be honest you can do this for free on instagram. If you are trying to learn more about design and actually implementing it along with how to actually achieve some DIY stuff to use, then I don't think this is the book for you.

Been a while since I read an interesting salvage/reclaim styling book. Some good ideas inside.

I love to creatively use salvaged items in my home decor. I love the patina of old items over the shiny plastic of today. Joanne Palmisano includes many tips in this book for readers, in fact this book is half text. But I really did not like Palmisano's personal style which includes lots of neutrals.

I Loved this book.

I have looked through it twice - in the past 48 hours.

The 10 page resource list at the back of the book is awesome - and completely up to date!!!

This is a good reference and idea book with tips and resources for buying, repairing, and using salvaged items. Though I probably wouldn’t buy this book, it is a great one to get from the library.
