‘Resourceful Living is packed full of brilliant ideas for revamping your home by creative repurposing on a budget - and without waste. Lisa outlines her methods for avoiding ‘the trend trap’ with tips on how to develop a personal style by mixing old and new, using inventive restyling and careful sourcing, while maintaining a flexible approach to your space. She then covers activities such as Sleeping, Living, Eating, Dining and Outdoors, offering simple solutions on how to create your style, from furnishing focal points to decorating tips for small spaces. Useful checklists throughout provide ideas for ‘shopping your home’ and making the most of what you already possess.

Joanna Copestick, Publisher of Kyle Books said of the announcement: We are all spending a lot more time at home right now and this book is a timely reminder of how important it is to create your own comfortable haven, without spending a fortune or being a slave to fashion.
Lisa Dawson comments: ‘From fast fashion to fast interiors, we're entering a new era of being far more careful and considered about what we are putting into our homes. This book will guide you through the ways in which you can build a home that not only makes you smile when you walk through the door, but that is also adaptable to the way we live today, sourcing and repurposing to create a space that is resourceful but that also reflects your own personal style. And most importantly, have a lot of fun doing so along the way.’
