Thrifty Chic

To previous generations, thrift was a virtue. Reclaim its value as you revive your home with creative repurposing of vintage and used furniture, accessories, linens and collectibles. As Liz Bauwens and Alexandra Campbell say, it’s the small details that make your home special: the pretty thrifted lampshade, grandma’s antique bed frame, all the wonderful features that made you fall in love with your house in the first place. Thrifty Chic shows you how to bring vintage charm into every room of your home without spending a fortune. Liz and Alexandra take you room by room showing you how to make the most of your home’s original fixtures, revitalize old furniture with new fabrics and cushions and group mismatched items into cohesive themes. There are even a number of step-by-step projects that show you how to create a variety of stylish home accessories out of bargain purchases. If you’re the kind of person who likes to know the story behind your collectibles, if you think a little wear and tear adds character, if you love peeking into bright and cheery homes filled with second-hand treasures, you’ll love flipping through this book and, even more, putting it to work for you. Color photos.

Don't judge THIS book by its cover!!!
September 14, 2009

I'll admit it- I got sucked in by the beautiful cover art and the title- Thrifty Chic- doesn't it just sound swell? The pictures in this book are not particularly inspirational, and every 8th page or so I had to shake off an eery sense of deja vu- the same pictures are featured again and again throughout the book. I saved this one for last because I thought I'd like it best. This one will probably end up in my garage sale next year... Not worth the price of admission.

I thought I was going to like this book but it really isn't my taste. I think I have very eclectic taste and can appreciate almost any style of decor but this just didn't make the cut. I may return it.

THE PICTURES IN THIS BOOK WERE LOVELY TO LOOK AT BUT THERE ARE NO NEW IDEAS IN IT. IF I HAD LOOKED AT IT FIRST I NEVER WOULD HAVE BOUGHT IT.

I work in a large antique shop in Comfort, Tx. I refurbish, refinish, and prepare European furniture as we get it in. This book helps me to know how to get that certain look that my customers like and ideas to pass on to them.
