Here are 30 brilliantly inspiring and totally achievable design projects u 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. Ordinary materials. Ordinary objects. They are all around us. The humble roll of Sellotape. The dull lump of concrete. The drab supermarket sneakers. The dreary kitchen chair that you're tempted to throw on a skipa Designer and artist Pascal Anson delights in the ordinary: but through his eyes the most ordinary of objects and materials can become, quite simply, extraordinary. Pascal shows us how our everyday items, junk and interiors can be literally reinvented. How to create a splendid chandelier with just a couple of 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. And how to build a child's fantasy treehouse with a roll of routine cling film. There are ideas for projects for everyone u from the four-minute makeover skinny jeans, to repairing and reinventing worn trainers, to bigger projects such as the wood-clad Honda Civic 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

Industry Reviews

"Filled with inexpensive and relatively easy do-it-yourself design projects for the home. Step-by-step photos show you how to do everything from dipping vintage cutlery in paint and reupholstering an armchair in shoelaces to covering a wall in mirrors" Telegraph "True original Pascal Anson urges us, with winning wit and idiot-proof step-by-steps to turn 'dad' jeans, an ugly table, holey trainers, mismatched cutlery [...] into desirable stuff using the alchemy of imagination. His brief? Low skill levels and high concept" World of Interiors "A rather sweet, pretty eccentric look inside the mind of one inventive designer, busying himself with projects that sometimes have unexpectedly beautiful results" Design Week
