Based on Mark and Sally Bailey’s farm property in the Herefordshire countryside of the UK, Recycled Home<\/a>, pour moi<\/em>, is love at first sight with a staircase and an old giant’s scissors hanging on a worn out wall on the front cover. Their intro exposes perfectly their decorating philosophy: “Use what you’ve got, be true to the structure of your house and the materials it is made from… think of your home as a delicious experiment.”<\/p>\n

The book is filled with the most delectable photographs by South African Debi Treloar<\/a>: One of my favourites being a tiny copper-sailed boat resting serenely on top of an old-fashioned door knob. And if you love wood, warm whites and textures you will love this book. Be warned though – you will end up wanting to buy everything at your next antique & flea market visit as this book guides you to seeing the beauty in things you would never have looked twice at. <\/p>\n

I love the textile section where you will find an old otherwise boring chest of drawers with wrapped handles in different wild vintage fabrics, stairs covered with a patchwork of mini persian rugs, and the fabric of an old bathing tent made into stunning curtains. But as I flick through the pages, my added tip as a stylist to make this style work in your own home is organisation. Without organisation, this look can quickly design itself into a display of useless scraps. <\/p>\n

WHAT I LOVE:<\/p>\n

  • \nBath rack made from a rustic sawn-off ladder with a wooden tray slotted into it.<\/li>\n
  • Rescued wooden planks as individual ergonomic head boards.<\/li>\n
  • Individual toothbrush holders made from oak blocks. <\/li>\n
  • Tiny animal figures cut out from red vintage paper and pinned to a weathered white paneled wall.<\/li>\n

    WHAT I’M ‘OVER’:<\/p>\n

  • Big found letters dominating and ‘naming’ a space. Although I am a word & font fanatic and was so thrilled when this came into style a decade ago, I’ve now seen enough to make me instantly walk away from a space if I see a letter in sight. I am currently working on an interiors book and I can whisper you this: I will be giving you some alternative uses for your found letters! <\/li>\n
  • \nTicking fabric. Love it in subtle doses (like in tea towels etc) but loathing it on mass scale in a room. <\/li>\n

    Mark and Sally have included a fabulous resource section from across Europe at the back of their book. And what more could you want? What about a website where you can buy their awesome finds and creations? Wouldn’t that be great? Yes it would and here it is<\/a>! <\/p>\n
