Trash+Treasure=Cash

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.

Shay

Hello, Hello, Hello. Let me tell you all about Shay. Shay is our family rescued dog. She comes to us from a broken home. She was not very well cared for, Left in a dog park and managed to make her way back ''HOME''. Since we have had Shay we have had nothing but fantasy things to say about our dog. We couldn't ask for a better and more patient dog.

Shay's first night with us was strange we didn't know if she wanted to go out/ stay in, eat, drink. It took Shay about 2 weeks to really warm up to Liz & I. Then it finally happend. One day after work we come home walked through the door and she came running at us like we have always had her. After that we decided this is our dog and we are going to do whatever it take to make her feel at home. So she got her rabies shots, a good  cleaning, and now every year until the day our wonderful dog dies we will past the city of West valley $8.00 a year.

Then it happend the worst thing that could possibly happend. Let me say whenever there is any kind of yell Shay shakes, shakes real bad. We were at our old shop it was a Tuesday and we didn't want to be there so Liz & I got into a argument over some stupid and petty things. Stop the argument for 5 seconds and were is Shay. Shay has ran away. Get into the truck and drive up to redwood rd. and there is Shay laying in the gutter hit & gushing blood. Picked her up and went to the animal hospital and she was worked on for 4 hours. Stayed the night. That was the longest night of my life.

Now Shay is a dog with one missing toes. Still as great as she has alway been. and wouldn't trade her for anything the world has to offer. Thanks for the read Jake
