Review by Booklist Review

Garage-sale enthusiasts, thrift-store shoppers, and bargain hunters will welcome Miller and Irwin's salvage-art showcase. Discards such as old heating grates, window shutters, lighting fixtures, damaged farm tools, and old barn siding can all be transformed quickly and inexpensively into surprisingly attractive, always innovative garden focal points as, for example, grates become stepping stones and barn wood planks become Adirondock chairs. Zigzagged windows of the same height, cleaned and sanded, with painted designs on the glass, become table legs when an old, weathered door is secured on top. Tongue-and-groove flooring or wallboards, with a little sandpaper, paint, and wood screws, are easily made into outdoor shelves for flowerpots. And with only an old paneled door, banister balusters, and a few tools, a door is transformed into the seat and headrest of a garden bench supported by baluster legs for seating that is truly one-of-a-kind--as is this delightful collection of ideas that could jump-start a lifetime of unique garden projects. --Whitney Scott Copyright 2003 Booklist
