A corner bookcase created from two damaged end tables? Window cornices made from foam insulation panels? A discarded medicine cabinet turned into a catch-all foyer cabinet? What will she think of next?

Youll find out in RUMMAGE, REMNANTS and RESALE: From Secondhand to First-class Dcor, by Mary Linden Ragains, part of a series of RagLin to Riches books that show you how to turn rags and other cast-offs into rich-looking decorative items, at very little expense.

In RUMMAGE, REMNANTS and RESALE, Ragains shows you how she decorated an approximately 2,000-square-foot home for less than $2,000 worth of secondhand items purchased at rummage sales, garage sales and resale shops. She took some dives in a few Dumpsters and scavenged for discarded items in several roadside trash piles. With remnants of fabric, paint and lumber, she turned these items into useful and attractive pieces.

For each room, Ragains found an inspiration piece to determine the decorating theme and color scheme. She includes before-and-after photos and floorplans along with tips and how-to instructions so you can replicate her ideas.
