I was actually excited to see this in the library of our cruise ship while on vacation that I even made time for it after an excursion. But boy, was I disappointed! The photography is so poor in some photos that you cannot see the finished, upcycled product (the black painted wallpapered glass cabinet, p 59). Many projects have durability issues or are so sloppily made I wonder if the piece was enhanced at all. Is the String Covered Chair (p. 174) really better than what she started with? I appreciate the author's enthusiasm for the subject but execution is definitely lacking here...

O.K. really crafty stuff and since everything is found in Britain not much hope for us over here, eh?
