| Book Description | Sometimes you're looking for it, sometimes it just finds you Treasures of home decor abound at flea markets, thrift shops, and garage sales. But how do you know a find when you find it? In "The Find," Stan Williams and some of today's most clever style makers, including Simon Doonan, John Derian, and "Real Simple's" Kristin van Ogtrop-all diehard devotees of New York City's Housing Works-show not just "what" to look for, but also "how" to look at an object to identify a great piece. The trick is to see beyond nicks and wobbles, color and intended purpose and to focus on potential. For example, a vintage leather trunk encased in Lucite works as a stunning coffee table. Pages from old books wallpaper a foyer. A cushion fashioned from a baseball diamond's home plate makes a garden chair comfortable. |
