One time my neighbor threw a wonderful table on her trash heap. Mark was tempted to run over it with his pickup because he knew it would end up in our garage ready for transformation. He didn't (run over it), it did (end up in our garage) and it is now our kitchen table. I love it. (he does too).Almost every room in our home has some "treasure" that someone else thought was just trash.Live a Colorful Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17411002666719287765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556794318856646559.post-17838607110014193172009-09-26T20:14:34.365-05:002009-09-26T20:14:34.365-05:00Hi.

I know when you get orders to move you don't get much time and the less you have to move the better.<br /><br />The government also gets rid of stuff that is still in its prime. Just this last week my husband came home with 4 sets of lockers-think high school locker room. They are awesome!Erin Sipeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15795284867130143619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556794318856646559.post-19273016199682791712009-09-26T16:55:48.558-05:002009-09-26T16:55:48.558-05:00Hi Jessica!

It took some elbow grease to clean it up, but now it's gorgeous.

I rang the lady's doorbell and she said her kids had grown out of it. My husband thought I was crazy for racing home and making him go pick it up in his truck. But I have four kids under age five. I didn't do a thing to it other than hose it down, clean it with pine-sol, and set it in the backyard. It was totally free and I can't count the snacks, meals, and games that table has seen.<br /><br />I'm all for upcycling other people's trash. It's cheap, envirnmentally friendly, and fun. :)Darlanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556794318856646559.post-59355579261175756672009-09-25T18:13:11.343-05:002009-09-25T18:13:11.343-05:00I know someone who works at the county garbage dum...I know someone who works at the county garbage dump in another state. She says people are always throwing away perfectly good stuff...even though there are places like Goodwill and another charity that will take things off your hands. I have gotten a chest of drawers and a dresser (not matching) that she brought me from the dump for free. I cleaned them, painted them, and put new hardware on them. Mine aren't antiques or anything like that, but they are functional and cute.<br /><br />I have another friend that lived in New Jersey, and she used to take their minivan up and down the streets looking for good stuff that people throw out. She found lots of things that people could use, including a nice (and expensive) toy train table that she donated to a day care. She said people in New Jersey are always throwing out mounds of perfectly good stuff.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556794318856646559.post-3553168442385998392009-09-25T17:50:17.414-05:002009-09-25T17:50:17.414-05:00girl, come on down to the south, you can use my ga...girl, come on down to the south, you can use my garage...and my power tools!!
