Reviews
[O]ffers a wealth of ideas for using old objects and materials in newways.... [S]hows the wide range of salvageable material available and what todo with it.
[A]n invaluable first step in the salvage-for-design journey.
In this age of recycling and conservation, it makes sense to use our creativity to find new ways of using what once would have been discarded without a second thought. Replete with appealing photos by Susan Teare, this is a visually attractive manual on how to turn someone else s junk into our treasures.
Drawing on her personal experience as well as advice from a posse of experts, Joanne Palmisano shows us that being sensitive to the environment does not mean sacrificing style or good design. Recycled, reclaimed, and salvaged materials and furnishings can be chic, beautiful, and sustainable. Salvage Secrets is a must an innovative design resource filled with unique and affordable ideas.--Kim Deetjen, ASID, principal, TruexCullins Interiors
A sustainable builder s bible... Page after page of homes whose owners have included architectural recycling into their design proves that building from salvage materials can create jaw-dropping beauty and help save our environment at the same time. Salvage Secrets shares everything you need to know about what, how, and where materials can be identified, found, and reused. Not only will this book be a resource for those in the building industry, but inspiration for anybody who believes a hammer and some creativity go hand in hand.--Shannon Quimby, former HGTV designer and salvage design expert (www.shannonquimby.com)
It is an ideal book for anyone considering salvage in design.... Often books on design are either practical and plain or only full of photographs with little guidance on how to create the same look in one's own home. Salvage Secrets by Joanne Palmisano, with photographs by Susan Teare manages to be a design book with both.
[A] great resource for professional or amateur designers who have a resourceful, green approach to design projects.... I would definitely recommend picking it up if you can!
