Hi, Hello, HOLLA.... I have done alot of reclaimed furniture in the past. Gotten it from second hand stores, free sections, dumpsters, apartments & my personal favorite the side of the road. With a creative imagination and a couple of dollars you can take something so simple and make it wonderful. Most reclaimed furniture is way bettter then anything you can buy from Wal-Mart, Target or the immortalized Ikea. Remember it doesn't have to be wood. Also look for lamps, pictures, chairs, shelves, good paints. Just be creative let your imagination do the thinking. Here are some examples, desk drawers into night stands, cabinet doors into wall art. Don't just think outside the box live outside the box.
What to look for. 1. Real wood. 2.Make sure it usable. 3. Doesn't have to be wood, metal, glass, fabric, paper, stone or plastic. 4. Don't be ashamed to pick up from any of the above places.
Us your pinterest to give your imagination a kickstart. Then go outside and because a do-er. The picture is a coffee table from pallets and 2x4s. Dark stain, sanded, then glossed. Thank you Jake.
