Working on books with talented authors and designers is one of the best parts of my job. We work closely together and I learn a lot along the way. Recycling and repurposing is something I needed to know much more about! In this photo, an old wooden chicken coop has been transformed into a coffee table. The glass vases and bottles are from second hand shops, Goodwill and flea markets and have been arranged to create a beautiful, summer floral arrangement. When varying the sizes and heights and adding in a piece of tempered glass underneath the vases and bottles, you can also get stunning reflections!
