and New

New from

 Very
few of us start with a blank canvas when furnishing our homes
so getting everything to mix and match can be difficult. This
is often a problem that makes following suggestions in interior
design books impossible. We just can't afford to throw out major
pieces of furniture and buy new ones to get the current 'look'.
How nice it is then,
to find this fact recognised in the opening lines of Old and
New. This is the book for people who not only do not want
to part with their existing furniture, but want to add other old
objects to their home to give it a unique feeling and to impress
their own personalities on it.
Combining old and
new doesn't necessarily mean you have to have a cluttered look.
Minimalism can also work with a mixture of the two as the book
illustrates in some of its beautiful photographs.
The first section
of Old and New shows you how to combine the two types of
furnishings in the different spaces in your home: kitchen, living
room, bathroom and bedroom. The second section deals with the
objects themselves. It shows how particular old pieces have been
used to create a harmonious combination with newer furniture.
If you want excellent
ideas for using old and new furnishings in your home, buy this
book without delay!
