Hardware Style: 100 Creative Decorating Ideas Using Materials from Every Aisle of the Home Center Store by Marthe Le Van, published by Lark Books in 2004.
It’s the most creative how-to book to come along in years, and it’s now at a great price! These 100 great ideas will change the way do-it-yourselfers look at their local home improvement center—and revolutionize home décor. With a layout inspired by the store’s floor plan, this abundantly photographed guide tours all the different departments, from plumbing to hardware, electrical to lawn and garden, suggesting a host of imaginative ways to use what’s on the shelves. Many of the projects take advantage of the latest decorating trend, repurposing, where items conceived for one function are used in an entirely different, original way.
A lovely addition to your coffee table or bookshelf, and a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves home and interior design.
