We "rescue" furniture people no longer want and try to give them a new lease on life. We sell them and donate some to domestic abuse survivors.

Furniture Rescue/Repair/Refurbishing/RePurposing & Resale!
-doing my small part to help keep the environment green...
THE BEGINNING
I picked up my very first sidewalk or curb piece one morning on my way home from my old job about to or so years ago. It was an old stereo cabinet and I thought it was a shame that such a handsome piece should end up in the local landfill. I saw possibilities for it. It could become a sharp-looking mini-bar, or a tv stand.
I had not done much with furniture rescue, repair, refurbishing, re-purposing or resale before, but that's how my passion, and this fledgling business was born.
I ended up not doing much with that first piece because there were challenges my novice skills could not overcome. I've done dozens of rescues, repairs, refurbishing, re-purposings and resales since then, however. And I have come to realize, with each new project, how much I absolutely enjoy doing it all and breathing new life into used furniture that might have been destined for the trash heap!
HELPING OTHERS, AMONG OTHER THINGS!
I want to do as much as I can to give a 2nd, or even 3rd life to pieces of furniture. And, in so doing, allow one less piece to clutter our landfills, provide decent and affordable furniture to people on a tight budget (or who are concerned about the environment as they shop for furniture) via Craigslist mostly, create a little "green" for myself and others I hope to employ as this venture grows, and help families (kids especially) who have suffered some trauma and might need furniture donations.
CHRONICLING MY PROJECTS
I will chronicle some of my interesting pieces and show BEFORE/AFTER images while sharing their stories. I do hope that you'll find all this interesting enough to return to this site from time to time to check things out. I also hope that you'll find the furniture items attractive and affordable enough to want to purchase one or more from time to time as well.
Thank you for visiting my page.
Sincerely,
