Junk Style

Junk Style is for anyone who loves old attics, flea markets — and charming, inventive design. Melanie Molesworth transforms junk into desirable homeware, from eclectic collectibles to old bathroom fittings. Each piece has an intrinsic beauty, whether the source of that beauty is quirky styling or great workmanship. With the help of enchanting photography by Tom Leighton, Melanie starts out by exploring the categories of junk — furniture, fabrics, containers, lighting fixtures, glass and china, collectibles, and display objects — then moves on to a room-by-room guide to living with junk and a source list of the country's best junk sources. Illustrated with reportage-style black-and-white before pictures and 300 full-color after photographs that show junk in real people's homes, this book is a testament to the old adage that one man's trash is another man's treasure.
