If you enjoy crafts and up-cycling, this book has gathered many ideas to try out. (Although, if you can spare the time, you can find many of them online. But having the book is very much a time-saver!) It also has examples of professional product designers' works, which I find extra interesting.

Inspirerend boek, met een interessante mix van voorbeelden van ontwerpers, korte tips en uitgebreidere DIY-handleidingen.

Es inspirador, pero poco práctico. Los modelos que propone son artísticos y fotogénicos, pero son poco ponibles para la vida diaria.

This book is quite possibly the best book on this subject I've ever seen. It's a gorgeous book to start with - materials and layout - and then it's chock full of awesome upcycling. And it covers everything - there are the awesome, designer-sourced upcycles... there are lots of little snippets of different ideas of things you might do with things in your own home... and there are actual projects with actual directions tossed in here and there.
Fantastic.

So this is a book I was able to pick up for a quarter several months ago at a yard sale. While the premise of it is interesting and their are some unique ideas, it didn't impress me. I think anyone who is an avid blog reader, won't find anything they haven't see before. But if you wait until things are featured in print magazines or on HGTV then this might be pretty inspirational to you!
