Ordinary Made Extraordinary by Pascal Anson
24 inspiring and achievable projects – with easy to follow step-by-step instructions – to transform the dull, the discarded and the down-at-heel into something really out of the ordinary. International designer, artist and blogger Pascal Anson shows us how everyday items, junk and interiors can be reinvented: - Create a splendid chandelier with just a few rolls of Sellotape. - Cast a stunning plant pot worthy of any designer homeware store using a cheap bag of concrete mix and a recycled plastic food tub. - Build a child’s dream treehouse with nothing more than everyday cling film. There are ideas for projects for everyone – from the four-minute makeover skinny jeans, to repairing and reinventing worn out trainers, to bigger projects such as the wood-clad car and the stylish hairy chair. ‘A resourceful attitude and way of working is key to me but so is fun, playfulness and sometimes magic’ Pascal Anson
