FUNKY IDEAS TO JAZZ UP YOUR JUNK! Flea markets, auctions, skips, salvage yards, the attic -- junk is everywhere. Funky Junk is about turning junk into stylish and contemporary items -- and for as little money as possible! In Funky Junk, Stewart & Sally Walton explore different sources for junk, look at inspirational funky junk and then show you exactly how you can transform your own junk finds. This isn't about antiques and restoration -- it's about finding something with potential, whether its a broken chair or an old jumper, and turning into something you will love having in your home. Published to coincide with the 10-week series running on the hugely popular 'This Morning' starting in September 1999, Funky Junk contains projects shown on the television, and the book will also be advertised on-screen. But as Stewart & Sally explain, each junk find is unique so the aim of Funky Junk is to equip readers with the inspiration and skills to transform their own junk -- this book will be useful for years! There are 20 step-by-step projects which show how to transform your junk with paint, mosaic and a range of other techniques. The chapters include * Looking for junk * Inspiration * Practical Matters * 20 step-by-step projects
