Today's kids want furniture that is funky and unique--not Mom and Dad's stodgy old antiques. This guide shows them how to rely not on a budget but on their creative, do-it-yourself attitude to customize their own space.

Make it your place! Quit dumpster-diving and listen up: you can build all the stuff you need for your apartment. Say "no thanks" to the creepy castoffs from grandma's garage and junk lurking along the side of the road. In this book, industrial designer Anthony Garay shows you how to build 25 cool projects for every room - things you can sit on, eat on, work on and sleep on. OK, we know what you're thinking. You're broke, and you've never made anything, aside from a macaroni necklace in the 3rd grade. But that doesn't matter - all the information you need is inside. After all, it's your place with your rules. Shouldn't you fill it with things you like instead of things that were kicked to the curb? Right - that's what we thought too.
