Junk Beautiful

Listen to the interview.

You know the old saying, one mans trash is another’s treasure. Well Sue Whitney wrote the book on it. She’s the author of Junk Beautiful: Outdoor Edition and she inspires us to look at junk with a new eye and guides in the ranformation from junk to gems.

Sue is president of Junkmarket, a company that focuses on teaching people how to turn old materials into home-decor items, and founder of the Web site Junkmarket Style. In the book, she collaborates with Kimberly Melamed, a member of Junkmarket’s creative team, to help the rest of us recognize the decorative potential in other people’s unwanted stuff.
