Salvaging Stuff
With a little glue, wit and ingenue, almost anything old can become new again,
with the Edmonds, Wash.-based Salvage Studio trio Amy Duncan, Lisa Hilderbrand
and Beth Evans-Ramos.
The Salvage Studio: Sustainable Home Comforts to Organize, Entertain and Inspire is a compilation of objects and crafts from their store, and their philosophy on
beautifying and organizing the home. With tips stemming from the
“reduce, re-use, recyle” mantra, this trio each brings a unique approach to a craft rendered from other
people
’s junk.

cream can be found in this book. Even fresh breads and pastas are easily
whipped up in stand mixers, as are an array of desserts.
