Meubles relookés…

Découvrez le livre de 96 pages "Meubles relookés : 30 projets pour rénover, peindre et customiser" de Audrey Halin et Pierre Nicou pour les photographies, paru en novembre 2012.


«30 meubles du quotidien remis au goût du jour par Audrey Halin. Dans son atelier niché au coeur du quartier Bastille, cette chineuse hors pair récupère, soigne et transforme les meubles pour leur donner une nouvelle vie. Créativité, simplicité et personnalité définissent ses réalisations pleines de charme. Dans ce livre, Audrey partage son savoir-faire en matière de couleurs et propose des harmonies dans l'air du temps. Source d'inspiration et guide pratique, il vous accompagnera pour mener à bien votre projet. Aujourd'hui, l'accélération des choses est telle qu'elle nous prédispose à être plus attentifs à nos besoins et aux liens (le temps et l'autre). Jeter, surconsommer et vivre sans considération désensibilisent notre société : nous en subissons tous les conséquences et sommes de plus en plus nombreux à le savoir, à chercher et à créer des alternatives et du sens. Le projet Bulle va dans ce sens et participe modestement à ce mouvement. Le principe est de récupérer, soigner des meubles et son travail. Récupérer est un geste qui relie à l'histoire et à l'enfance, qui offre de ce fait un temps et un espace, propices à l'imagination et à la créativité. Soigner des vieux meubles est le mouvement inverse qui équilibre et ramène au présent et à l'action». ».

Découvrez le livre de 128 pages "Wood Pallet Projects: Cool and Easy-to-Make Projects for the Home and Garden" de Chris Gleason, à paraître en mars 20131.


«Lumber prices are soaring, and deforestation is a rising concern. Yet millions of pounds of perfectly usable wood are dumped in landfills every year.

Maverick craftsman Chris Gleason combines sound woodworking techniques with a hip designer's sensibility to unleash the limitless possibilities of the common skid. Inside you'll find 15 of his inspired projects for rescuing and repurposing pallets. Some of his pieces celebrate the rough, edgy character of the material, while others are crafted as fine furniture. He shows how to construct both indoor and outdoor furniture in a variety of styles, along with other useful items such as a birdhouse, a toolbox, and even a ukulele. There's plenty of nitty gritty here on working with pallets, including where to find them, how to process them into usable lumber, fasteners, sanding, and the best finishes (if any) to use. The author provides important adviceon how to make sure that your pallets are safe, and not sprayed with harmful chemicals. A colorful gallery of finished work provides further inspiration for green crafting».
