Product Description
Enjoy your treasured collections, favorite items, and must-have finds with the help of enchanting full-color photographs, creative tips, display ideas, and plenty of projects. Create crackle and distressed finishes to "age" furniture. Use an old chair as a display stand for a special object. Artfully arrange a collection of interesting bottles. Wrap a small gift in a lovely vintage handkerchief. Recycle broken pieces of treasured china into a china-shard mosaic table. Embellish a basket to make an eye-catching centerpiece, or update a lamp with a fabric cover. An empty portrait frame can become a unique corkboard, and an old fireplace screen gets a new life with a stenciled design. You'll love decorating your home with these inexpensive, easy, and fun schemes and suggestions!

Beauty Handled Enjoyed Bit Bruised Still Visually Inspiring October 24, 2003 Sakuteiki (Grants Pass, OR United States) 3 out of 4 found this review helpful
Vintage fabric, architectural refuse, wood chairs, china, glass, containers, photos frames, metal work, lamps, shells embellish homes' visual universe with color, shape and a sense of human interaction. The background of our lives and human relationships are recorded in the objects we create, handle, use daily. That history charms and warms our homes and Tattered Treasures celebrates the broken pieces for their evocation of people and times past. Full page photos of chips, dings, warped and loved mementos. A book to reminisce by. Enjoy.

A wonderful book for everyone who decorates to have on their coffee table. This book features how to display collections, take flea market finds and uses them in an imaginative and creative way. What a wonderful way to decorate using tattered treasures that have the gift of a story with each piece displayed in your home. This author really has tremendous vision in her tattered treasures, whether they are family heirlooms or found at a flea market. This is a must have book!!!
