"Remake, Restyle, Reuse" by Sonia Lucano (Watson-Guptill) demonstrates, with clear and easy-to-follow directions, how to transform everyday items into beautiful home accessories.

It has more than 40 unusual projects for personalizing wine glasses, bowls, towels and desk organizers, to name just a few.
