Book Description
Surveys find that over 80 percent of Americans agree with the goals of the environmental movement. Sadly, most Americans admit to doing little more than basic recycling when it comes to acting on that disposition. What is the reason for this great divide between environmental sentiment in this country and individual actions? Author and environmental consultant Crissy Trask seeks to answer this question-and solve the disparity-with a new book that makes it easy to be an environmentalist, no matter how busy or hectic your lifestyle. This is a day to day guide with simple, practical suggestions that anyone can put into action, like:

Good Intro to Green Living.......2007-08-11
This book is smaller than many, which makes it pallatable to those who might want to dip their toe into the eco-pool. It has straightforward language, resource pages, short chapters and simple (occasionally humorous) illustrations.
The easy method of tracking actions that you can take gives you a sense of satisfaction as you check through what you are already doing, and what you can consider adding to your daily/weekly/monthly routines. Throughout certain areas of the chapters, there are three boxes next to some action items. The box farthest to the right signifies that this is an action that you would like to try, target or experiment with. Checking the middle box signifies that you are in the process of working on implementing it in your lifestyle. The left most and final box allows you to rate your success with that action on a scale of 1 to 5. For those of us who like lists and to see what we're doing, filling up this book with checks and numbers gives a sense that I can see that I'm making a difference.
Great gift for a hard to shop for person who has everything...
easy being green.......2007-07-28
type too small
horrible reading
I really wanted to send it back -still do
poorly written!
Green is good.......2007-07-20
Excellent book on how to become more environmentally and health conscious while saving money at the same time.
really cool book.......2007-01-06
this book is a fun read. it is very concise and well organized, so it makes for a good coffee table item.
Well, the info is good, but widely available without this book.......2006-11-03
If you need to have almost all the ideas for ways YOU can reduce your ecological damage of your lifestyle all in one easy to read place -- or know someone who you think is open to being greener but unaware of all the big and little changes one can fairly easily make, this might be a book for you.
If you've been paying attention to ecological, green, and sustainability issues for years there's not much point in this book. All the info in it is widely available on the 'net and other sources free.

Renovating Old Houses: Bringing New Life to Vintage Homes
ASIN: 1561588253
Release Date: 2007-03-20 |
Book Description
The country's two leading expert advocates for salvaging parts of unwanted houses rather than demolishing them explain the "green" art of unbuilding (or deconstruction) and take the reader on a fascinating tour of the process. This is the first and only book that addresses this growing trend.Contains fascinating details on construction techniques for houses both ancient and of more contemporary vintage and methods used to determine their value or salvagability. Covers a variety of projects, from simply dismantling a wall to completely unbuilding an entire house safely, while saving the reusable parts and pieces for another building or for another purpose - including sales. It is satisfying, fun and economical to reuse old building materials both for their original purpose or for decorative purposes.

It's not only environmentally sound, but economically profitable. .......2007-04-12
We live in an age of recycling. It's not only environmentally sound, but economically profitable. This applies just as much to reusable and salvageable building materials from structures scheduled for demolishing, as it does to ordinary newspapers and soda cans. Now U.S. Forest Products Laboratory research engineer Bob Falk has teamed up with Brad Guy (Director of Operations at The Hammer Center at the Penn State School of Architecture) to publish "Unbuilding: Salvaging the Architectural Treasures Of Unwanted Houses" an instruction guide to salvaging materials that can be reused and recycled from homes and other buildings by literally and carefully dismantling the original structures piece by piece. These materials can include ornate hardware, period lighting fixtures, windows, doors, mantels, hardwood flooring, and anything else that continues to have esthetic and commercial value. Often these are 'yesteryear' items that cannot be matched by anything available to day and have great financial worth in and of themselves. The authors draw upon their many years of expertise and experience in advising about new tools, deconstruction processes, and alternatives to conventional demolition tactics. "Unbuilding" is strongly recommended to the considered attention of building contractors, demolition experts, and environmentally conscious salvagers, as well as non-specialist general readers with an interest in recycling building materials for their value, utility and esthetics.

A First!.......2007-03-28
The Taunton Press with their great sense of style and photography combined with knowledgeable authors, who have taken the time to document the deconstruction and salvage process, make this book a must in the bookcases of contractors, architects, designers and any building owner considering salvaging or using salvaged building materials.
Book Description
Inspired by everyday objects, the Salvage Sisters rescue more than fifty common castoffs—orphaned drawers, a hobbled couch, a broken birdbath—and cleverly transform them into style statements loaded with ingenuity, wit, and humor.
Join intrepid hunters and gatherers Kathleen Hackett and MaryAnn Young in this step-by-step illustrated guide as they travel the country—down alleyways and side streets, to flea markets and yard sales, through the local garden store and their own closets—and learn how to transform a battered curbside couch into a fabulous and functional piece of furniture; raise discarded Sunday comics into an art form; customize a cookie-cutter set of drawers into an instant heirloom.
The Salvage Sisters show how to cleverly incorporate the tired but treasured family china, torn lampshades, and everything else tucked away in the attic into our modern life. The simplest utilitarian objects—a plant stand, some nautical rope, an old pair of jeans—are all ingeniously reinvented in these real-life sisters’ hands. Dozens of resourceful projects—ranging from a two-second slipcover or ten-minute chandelier or frumpy mirror facelift to a dapper dog sweater and soigné table skirt—plus helpful tips, alternative project ideas, and more than 125 detailed color photographs, make this a book for anyone yearning to inject beauty and whimsy into his or her life, Salvage Sister style.
Customer Reviews:
Curb Shopping or Just Plain Junk?.......2007-09-11
I have to admit there are a few nice ideas in this book but there isn't anything you couldn't have found on the internet. I was expecting some blow-by-blow instructions for "repurposing" rummage sale or curb shopping finds. Instead it was more a book on musings about being a trash to treasure kind of gal. I was disappointed and not just because I don't have a penchant for ball fringe either. I recommend that you check this out at your local library before committing to a purchase to see if it is the right T2T type of book for you.
Cover deceptive.......2006-09-23
The cover photo shows classy "junk" on the top of the Salvage Sisters' car but when you get inside the book and see the hideous creations made of things like ball fringe.....well, I sent this one back.
Save your money.......2006-09-05
This is almost a worthless book. Maybe I am just not getting it, but I am very disapointed, and I love revamping junk. Not a good buy.
Witty and wacky.......2005-08-05
Have you never passed a yard sale without stopping? Does your attic bulge with things you might find a use for someday? Are you always looking for new, innovative decorating ideas?
Answer "yes" to any of those questions and the "Salvage Sisters Guide" will kindle a kindred spark. Like a year's subscription to a decorating magazine for yard salers, their colorful, perky and practical book teems with ideas, good and bad.
Some of the good ideas are familiar. A patchwork quilt (or ottoman cover, tablecloth or lampshade-cum-chandelier cover), made out of your family's long-loved old clothes, for instance. Or the ball gown cut down for a table skirt. And I don't know that I've ever seen a cast-iron lobster-shaped cornbread mold used as a doorknocker, but it seems like I should have.
Then there's the bad ideas; who hasn't seen a nifty looking throw tucked neatly over an old chair's fraying upholstery? Looks great, as long as nobody sits on it. Making outfits for the whole family out of a couple of big, ugly curtains makes for a funny picture, but I wouldn't want to try it on my family. And I get the distinct feeling that most of the newsprint ideas - wreaths, mirror-frame covers, urns filled with crinkled balls - look a lot better in the pictures than in real life. As for shell art; it's downright dangerous.
But the twin-bed headboard set over the plain horizontal mirror (or door frame) really does smarten up the piece and the hundred and one uses for an old wine rack (from shoe rack to spa closet) are all inspirational. Plant stands make chair-side serving trays, umbrella stands, and even a whimsical toilet tissue stand.
The toilet tissue stand perfectly expresses the Salvage Sisters' philosophy: "Why tuck toilet tissue behind closed doors when you can make an amusing arrangement of it in plain sight on a plant stand? The best part: There's no risk of unknowingly running out."
A lot of their ideas require no work at all or just a simple lick of pain or spot of glue. But where more is required - such as hanging an old front-door pediment over a set of standard French doors, or making bookcases from discarded drawers or covering a straight-backed chair seat - detailed directions include all materials and tools needed as well as step-by-step instructions suitable for a person with no skills or experience.
Colorful pictures accompany everything and often feature family members, from kids on driftwood swings to husbands in homemade bow ties. Jackie the terrier is a frequent model in his sweater made from an old sleeve, his ball-fringe leash, and his charmingly decorated bedroom with the birdbath-stand night table (the bath basin is on the dining room table).
With words of wisdom like, "Rust is a variation of red; red is always an acceptable color" and "Never worry about how to get it home; just get it," the sisters have a make-do, can-do style that is as useful as it is humorous.

Very disappointing.......2005-07-24
A very disappointing book considering the write-ups in home decor magazines. Out of 50 "original ideas" on how to use common items in uncommon ways, only 2 were worthwhile. An example of one of their ideas was to make paper hats out of newspapers. Better to get the book from the library, definitely not worth purchasing.
Book Description
Previously Announced. Recycle. Restore. Repurpose.
This unique book inspires art, creation, and environmentalism with 50 projects that transform yesterday's trash into today's stylish and useful objects. Using found, discarded, and cast-off items as a foundation-from old computer cases, soda cans, and record album covers to foam packing-readers can fashion stylish clocks, end tables, frames, and much more.
Customer Reviews:
Fun & Helpful.......2007-09-01
This book was fun and helpful. If anything, it might get some people to think of what to do with found objects. On the other hand, many of the projects in this book would be rather difficult to do without purchasing anything. This would be a better book for someone who just keeps collecting junk and needs something to do with it. If you do not collect junk then you are probably out of luck with this book.
Good for ideas.......2007-08-21
I would like this book better if it used more easy to obtain items to recyle. I just don't have final records and old electrical junction boxes lying around my house.
Book Description
Today's kids want furniture that is funky and unique, not Mom and Dad's stodgy old antiques. And while they don't have the budget to buy trendy pieces, they do have something else: a creative, do-it-yourself attitude. Turf will inspire 20- and 30-somethings to create one-of-a-kind works of art that are functional as well. Featuring 25 projects, designer Anthony Garay shows how to:
-Build contemporary chairs, tables, and accessories, along with a nightstand, an armoire, and a bed frame, using only a limited number of tools
-Use wood with unconventional materials, including pipe, trashcans, crates, acrylics, and recycled items
-Transform ready-made items into something new with easy-to-grasp skills
Illustrated with a mixture of unique hand-drawn illustrations and photos, Turf makes a hip coffee table book as well as practical furniture manual.
Customer Reviews:
great ideas, inexpensive and very easy to understand!.......2007-09-09
being a poor college student, i wanted to create something inexpensive and unique. there are many ideas in this book to branch off from and assemble with a touch of your own style. aside from chairs, stools, armoire, shoji screens,coffee tables and t.v. stands (which are all really neat + easy to build), you can also create appliances! i love the way he is detailed in the tools you need and 3d illustrations to assemble the pieces.check out this book and start tinkering!
Great Find and Helpful!.......2006-12-12
First I'd like to say this is a very informational book for those on a low budget but like art deco style furniture. As a former college student, I know how hard it is to manage day to day life on a budget, and still have nice things in your home. Well if you follow this book, you will get some nice things (especially like the wine rack)!
As for those who wrote a bad review because the author had an "attitude," I don't think there is any pettiness involved in reviewing your own book. It's a great accomplishment! Before you go about giving someone's book that you haven't even read bad reviews(which isn't even fair!), write your own, come back and let us tear apart all your [years] of hard work.
Good job author! 5 stars!
Very Masculine.......2006-04-20
This book has a lot of ideas. Being a designer, artist, and a person who generally likes to build things I bought this book as well as the Readymade, DIY, and Todd Oldham books. I also own many other more technical books. This book, as well as the others is good for people who like to make things but arent comfortable deisgning. It is also good for people with very little money and a lot of time. However, I did not like this book personally for a few reasons. This is not to say this is a bad book, because it isnt. I am female and as much as I value my already pretty masculine minimalist asthetic, the designs in this book are extremely male. Very "Home Depot" and not for me. There were some cool ideas that I would embellish on though and that is great. The problem I have with all of this generation of D.I.Y. books is the look is very slipshod, and sometimes very junky. I think this book does a good job over some of the others of making pieces that are actually structural and can be used, but a few are hardly practical. The designs for seating seem horribly rigid even the models in the photos look uncomfortable. So in summation, this book is not a bad, or poorly written book, but a book really intented for a college aged group of dudes that want some cheap furniture they can have fun and throw together that will give them a "Steal this room" look to their pad.
Cool Stuff.......2006-01-25
This book is aimed at a super specific target market, so it won't be everything to everyone. I'm a little out of the $50 or less dormroom furniture stage of my life, but I still found some things in here that are useful. I realled liked the wine rack and the palette coffee table is probably the coolest coffee table I've ever seen.
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes DIY projects.
I thought is was great.......2006-01-24
Well, maybe this is just my glass-half-full attitude shining through, but I thought that this book was very successful at doing what it set out to do. I'm not sure how someone could be disappointed in it-- no book can be all things to all people, and I thought that this one did a nice job showing how to use common, hardware store materials to put together some funky furnishings. There was nothing I really would've changed, and I'll admit to being a design junkie who gets a little cynical from time to time. Will I run out and build every project exactly as it is shown? No, but I read a lot of design books and there isn't enough time in the day to actually build everything that's out there. What I really got out of the book was some specific advice for building stuff with this kind of urban, artsy, creative edginess and I will definitely refer back to it in the future.
I think it helps to keep an open mind and view this book as general inspiration, in addition to containing instructions for specific pieces. I'm sure that a lot of people will find this to be a useful guidebook, whether they want to follow the directions step to step or just get ideas in general.
Book Description
A compendium of work by one of the most exciting and accomplished young architects to emerge on the international scene in many years.
David Adjaye's practice combines material inventiveness, creative clients, and modest budgets to produce a refined and comprehensive body of work. Adjaye was born in Tanzania, and his wide-ranging education, both cultural and formal, has allowed him to respond deftly to wildly differing projects, from urban contexts to elegant pastoral retreats.
The innovation in Adjaye's career is exemplified in his residential works for a wide variety of clients and budgets. Perhaps his best known projects are the houses he has created in a range of settings for people such as artist Chris Ofili and actor Ewan MacGregor, some of which have never been published.
This book is Adjaye's first monograph, and it documents thirteen of his most important projects, presented through descriptions, detailed plans, and photographs. There is also a series of "portfolios," visual essays that highlight the tactile, luminous, and luxurious nature of Adjaye's work, and a reference section. 430 illustrations, 162 in color.
Book Description
With a touch of craft and a dash of style, throw-outs can become keepsakes. Using easy-to-follow techniques, a box of broken china turns into a gorgeous mosaic clock, milk cartons transform into gleaming Christmas ornaments, and a bunch of faded old blue jeans become a durable yet attractive rug. Trash to Treasure, Book 8 continues the traditions of its predecessors with more than 200 projects, all accompanied by clear, step-by-step instructions, and a full-color photo of each finished project.
Customer Reviews:
Children might enjoy.......2005-06-22
I wasn't blown away by this book, I looked through it when it arrived, the stuff it showed to make just wasn't my cup of tea. It did have nice pictures and detailed instructions. Would be more for kids to do.
A Disappointment For Mom & Me.......2003-12-13
My mom knows how much I enjoy bargain shopping & refinishing furniture, so she bought me a copy of this book through the mail, as well as a copy for herself. Well, before I received mine, she called me to apologize for how horrible the book was. She told me that she had received hers & was promptly returning it. In advance, she welcomed me to do the same. I received mine last week, & I have to say that I share in her disappointment! Here are the real questions: Do you like vests with doilies stitched on them? Do you like pencils holders made of soup cans with lace glued on them? Ok, if your answers were "yes," you'd love this book, but if your answers were "no," then don't waste your time or money on this book that shows you how to make lamp shades from used coffee cans & VESTS with fabric panels, lace & such. It really is an embarrassing book. Now, to give credit (& the only reason this book even deserves a "1"), there are a few cute ideas woven into their disasters of projects, but you have to have an eye to pick those things out. For example, their ivy made of pop cans & craft wire was cute, but you have to see that past the end table made of coffee cans, garden hoses, & swimming pool play toys. Their denim bolster was cute, too, but there is no excuse for filling a bolster with a 2 liter bottle! One could certainly afford a $1.50 bag of stuffing at Wal-Mart! Anyway, there are, like I said, a few notable ideas, but be ready to reinvent them with your own creativity; otherwise, people will smile at your projects through clinched teeth & say, "That's nice.""
Can't get enough!.......2003-01-20
As a beginning crafter I can't get enough of this book! I have purchased all seven editions (and waiting for #8 to come out)and love to save old bottles, cans, and boxes to prepare for my "next project". This book and all the other ones have simple instructions for the person that has no idea what "household cement" is and how to do a "running stitch". Awesome book for the "crafting impaired".
Fun projects for kids.......2000-06-22
This book is a great way to introduce kids to recycling. The crafts are easy and fun to do, but they are something for children. There are only a few that are really nice enough for adults to give to another adult. As I said though for children this book is one of the best I have used. It has plenty of cute ideas for used cans.
For the advanced to beginner.......1999-12-08
I loved this book! And even bought one for my best friend who wanted to get her feet wet in crafting. I have used the pop bottle idea for many gifts and the christmas ornamate wraped in netting you get from fruit turned out so pretty! Oh and of course the stepping stones,I have seen them in the stores for 20.00 or more andto think they can be made for a fraction of the price! I could go on and on. My friend is making the stepping stones, as well as the address plate for her house, just to name a few. We will both be buying many of the books by this author and look forward to each new one.

Concrete Dreams.......2000-12-22
Lawson Drinkard takes old wood, makes new homes and sets dreams in concrete. As with his first book, RETREATS, Drinkard tantalizes readers with stories-and beautiful photographs- proving that people can make their housing visions come true. Yet the book is packed with lots of "news to use." His tips on finding housing materials and working through zoning processes are priceless. This isn't just a book for the skilled craftsperson but for anyone who dares to set dreams in motion.

quite pleased.......2005-08-07
When i was originally shopping for this particular book no one
seem to have it in stock. Most places would order it for me however i had wanted to view some of the book before i purchased. Especially because the retail value for this book was 38 dollars canadian plus. It's a nice book for the right price. It has very original ideas for the treasure hunter and crafter such as myself.
Stunning Book.......2004-01-19
This is a very special book if you like the vintage look. It is different from many others in that it looks at the glamorous side of vintage, rather than the eclectic, colouful, 'busy' look of country-style vintage. I suppose you could say this look is the city equivalent of the 'shabby chic' look and is more sophisticated. Very, very inspiring.
