I'm Hunting Goodwill

Have you seen the blog "Mr. Goodwill Hunting"?  I love this guy because he does what I've been doing for some time now, hunting through Goodwill and making things beautiful, check out his blog at http://www.rashoncarraway.com/

 

Since I live on a very tight budget and love beautiful and expensive things I often hunt through thrift stores, consignment stores, antique stores and garage sales.  You have to train your eye to look beyond the gross color or grime and see its possibilities.  It can be painted, or it can be cleaned, right?  My mom has taught me how to look closely and not be deceived! 

 

Above are picture of my daughters room, which I bought it all at the places mentioned above or they have been sale-finds at other inexpensive stores.  I'll let you in on my secrets of where I found each item.  Sometimes you have to clean it up, paint it, sew it or be creative!  Click on the pic below to see it more clearly.

 

 

but keep in mind you have keep your eyes peeled and see the potential rather than the face value.

My Theory About ReDesign

ReDesign is Green Design

 

 

{Re}DESIGN=

Recycle +

Reduce + Reuse + Repurpose + Repaint + Revamp + Reclaim + Reupholser + Renew + Reborn
 

ReDesign is green design since we use what we have rather than throwing the old out and filling up the land fills.  We can take what we have and give it a new purpose while being budget savvy.  We can use the same piece of furniture in a different room and paint it to match the decor, we can put new hardware on it to give it a totally different look.  As a designer the options are endless.
 

ReDesign can also mean repurposing an entire room.  Maybe we could use a dinning area as an office if that is what your need is, or we can change an extra bedroom into an office.  We may not even have to buy a thing since we can shop through your home of your existing furniture you already have and reuse it in a different way.  
 

As ReDesigners we also love to hunt through consignment stores, estate sales, thrift stores to find "deals and steals" for our clients.  We choose items that have character, that are unique, that you just can't find in stores today that fit your style.  We can reclaim furniture and renew it by repainting it, by reupholstering it, or whatever our creative minds can fathom and give it new life and thus it is reborn.

Pictures of current projects coming soon...
