A visually sumptuous idea book, showcasing an eclectic array of interior design possibilities using salvaged goods. Following up on her celebrated first Salvage Secrets book, which Fine Homebuilding called “An invaluable first step in the salvage-for-design journey,” here salvage design guru Joanne Palmisano takes readers further, exploring a wealth of smaller-scale interior design and decor concepts. Bottle caps turned into a kitchen backsplash, old bed springs reinvented as candle holders, and a recycled shipping container-turned-guesthouse are just a few examples of the innovative repurposing of second-hand items that readers will discover. From retro and modern to classic, “cottage,” and urban chic, Palmisano takes readers on a sumptuous visual journey featuring unique salvage ideas in an eclectic array of styles, for every room in the house—kitchens and dining rooms, bedrooms and bathrooms, living rooms and dens, and entryways and outdoor areas. The journey continues with a sampling of cutting-edge retail spaces, hotels, cafes, and boutiques across the country that incorporate salvage into their designs, such as Industrie Denim in San Francisco, Stowe Mountain Lodge in Stowe, Vermont, and Rejuvenation in Portland. Profiles of thirteen “salvage success stories” are also included, showcasing the imaginative designs of creative homeowners. And lastly, fourteen easy, do-it-yourself projects are included at the back of the book (with step-by-step instructions), not to mention a comprehensive “Where to Find Salvage” resource section. Packed with over 350 color photos, Salvage Secrets Design & Decor offers a trove of salvage ideas to inspire, proving that you need look no further than your local rebuild center, architectural salvage shop, or flea market to transform your living space.

The Kitchen was opened up and reorganized to allow better traffic flow. The lowered maple butcher block table allows for dining in the kitchen, while keeping it separate from the work area. The built in desk serves as a coffee station when entertaining. Old appliances were kept for environmental reasons and to keep cost down. Troy Thies Photography

This husband and wife architect team were looking for a meticulously well planned kitchen for the homes addition. Keeping the footprint of the existing kitchen was the challenge since the space was narrow and long. The custom cabinetry took advantage of every inch of space with extra tall cabinets. A unique light rail was created to house LED undercabinet lighting and the custom panels in the doorways allow the space to flow through the adjacent rooms. A glass countertop and backsplash reflect light throughout the space. Overall the new space is sleek and contemporary but in keeping with homes square lines.

AN OPEN HEART. The kitchen area grew to become the hub of the home, easily accessed from all areas of the house. Classic cherry cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a honed limestone countertop and a lively tile backsplash of recycled glass are showpieces in this new family center. The backsplash, like the cork floor, makes a sustainable statement. Photography by Morgan Howarth

The owners of this city townhouse asked us to renovate former first-floor office space and design an apartment for their college-age daughter. Working within a modest budget and square-footage, we created distinct living, dining, kitchen, and bedroom areas with additional pantry and closet space. Photos by Shelly Harrison.
