Hi! Thank you for visiting my website. In the coming months I hope to share with you some of the projects I am currently working on. This includes a new book Salvage Secrets (W.W. Norton), now available, which is full of great, cost-saving, salvage materials and recycling ideas practical for any new home, renovation, or just plain decorating.

I hope you’ll visit often and check out some of
my existing work.

Joanne is the author of Salvage Secrets (W.W. Norton) on how to turn salvaged materials into beautiful architectural and practical pieces of any home. You can order one from your local bookseller or via online retailers: Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Borders, INDIEBOUND, Powell's Books.

She has also authored:
The Vermont Wedding Resource Guide
Kidding Around Burlington
Camps, Cottages and Cabins (Amazon.com)

Designer:
Joanne is a part-time designer and marketing consultant for Peregrine Design/Build and TruexCullins Architects and Interiors. Joanne’s designs include the 2009 Best Bathroom of the Year, from Better Homes and Garden (pictured above, center).

Recycler:
Joanne is the creative force of Bella Buckles, www.bellabuckles.com, which takes recycled and vintage objects and materials and creates wearable art from them. Buckles, Belts, Aprons, Handbags…are just a few of the creative things Joanne creates out of recycled materials.

In Salvage Secrets (W.W. Norton), Joanne shows how builders, architects, and designers use salvaged and recycled materials in their designs.
