I SOOOO under-priced this, it's ridiculous. At $75 it lasted a day. I did not realize this thing is not only a day bed, but it actually folds the other way too! (Like a hospital bed!) Darn it! A lounger to the max! Oh man! I so blew it. But I do like the person who bought this. She stops by every three days to make sure she does miss a deal. Not sure how she will fit this with the other sofa she bought. And talk about funny. Her sons came in a small car and put this on their roof - I provided maritime ropes for them to tie it down so the sofa does not sail off... Hilarious and rewarding experience.

(Ottoman still available for $35.)

Sorry, sold.

This cool little table measure 35" x 35" and fold both sides. Top is laminate and legs are steel with rubber feet. In great condition. Beige with gold details on legs. $25

We offer items "as-is" prior to refurbishing or refabbing, so you can get a better deal. If it does not sell as-is, we then move forward with refab process, which does increase the price, since we charge for labor, not for new materials.

An unwanted candy jar is repurposed into a glass shelter for cactus - four cacti, as a matter of fact. Layers help drainage and promote root growth... New river pebbles and rocks, organic soil, new sand, locally grown cactus donated, collector's rocks, and a reclaimed candy jar that lost its rubber seal (making it perfect for use as a terrarium). Measures 10" high. $28

Sold. Thanks, Teresa.

Sold to Andie!

I have been staring at about 50 damaged canvas folding chairs (directors' chairs) for months now. Been pondering the idea to reuse the legs as table legs... This one I added a vintage suitcase for use as the tabletop. I stained the legs ebony to match our current ebony frame collection, and also to modernize the look. $65 (for stand and suitcase).

Sorry, not the best image ever... But these will probably sell soon, so I figured I better share the refab tip before they disappear. Weathered wicker furniture can be repainted to look new again. Takes a bit of paint, so I recommend latex first, then spray paint to cover flaws. Coat with clear waterproof sealant so your wicker can last outdoors for a long time. Salvaged furniture refabbed. Chair is $35. Table $25. $50 for the set.

Sold, sorry.

This very tall bookcase was rescued from post estate sale. It was a bit fuddy-duddy, so we gave it a fresh coat of burnt orange stain to modernize the look (okay, so we had to use three coats to get that orange to glow). Mid-section opens down and functions as a desktop. I suppose one could consider this a secretary's desk on steroids. The back and sides of this shelving unit were untouched as part of the design. 6'2" high and 25" wide. $150

Sold.

Sold for only $35. Yay.

Chair has vinyl cushions and backing. There is a slight tear at the seam (about 1 inch) at the bottom of seat cushion. It is not visible. We can fix this, but the price increases, therefore we'll offer it first 'as is' so you can get a better deal.

Sold.

A resin bowl/cachepot gets the orange treatment. Repainted to add new life. Love the elephants! $14

Sold.

What to do with a non-draining metal cachepot? What to do with two unattractive plastic Chrysanthemum stems?  Painted the metal box, cut the stems from the faux flower and glued them together. Wall decor in an instant (well, kinda of instant). Made using 100% salvaged goods. $16

Sold.

This is one of the coolest arm chair ever. This can pass for new retro-style production, but it's actually an oldie. And definitely a goodie. I just love it that it's a pretty lazy boy. Vinyl upholstery. In great-excellent condition. American-made. $175

The coffee table to the side was made from a reclaimed tree that had to be cut down due to foundation issues. Hand-crafted by Edmund Eng of Oakland. Solid Black Walnut. $389

Some of the most brilliant and creative usage of reclaimed products ever... Laura Pohjola, a Fernseed artisan, created fabulous hip jewelry using old tools and hardware. All reclaimed, including the string and leather.  One of one. Prices range from 18- to 24-.

Both sold.

Ikea vintage... They used to make great furniture 7+ years ago. This day bed sofa is nothing like a futon. Very modern style with bent wood legs on each side (detail images to come soon). Single cushion seating and single cushion back rest. Steel backing. Sturdy as heck. No loose nuts anywhere. Made in Canada. No longer available at Ikea. I actually quite admire this piece. Well-designed and manufactured. Removable slip-covers. Color is khaki. This piece is in excellent condition (once you wash the cover again, that is). 8 ft wide.

Sold.

Or side table... Is it antique or vintage? Dunno, but I do know it's an oldie and well-built. Solid wooden legs. The white'ish leather seat is also a lift-top box. Inside the box you will find original stain and metal joint braces. The leather is aged and 'distressed'. Could use a good cleaning.  Incomplete checker pieces included inside the box. (Perhaps this was a chess game board at one time?). The wood looks beat-up, but it is all surface. A quick stain or wax stick should fix this baby up in minutes.

We like to giving customers chances at 'as is' lower pricing. If items do not sell, we then refurbish or refab, so the price naturally goes up.

For the past two days, I have been testing out tiles that were reclaimed three times. First reclamation was canvas for art projects and rejected. Second reclamation was painting surface for planters. Today these were refabbed as art tiles consisting of many different elements... Reclaimed tiles, original flaws and color, adhesive, spray paint, reclaimed latex paint, metallic paint, reclaimed lacquer coating, reclaimed shelf liner stencils, reclaimed calligraphy brush, and found objects.

Hand-bound Notebooks created by resident Fernseed artisan Kate Bailey using scrap paper, reclaimed Italian faux leather, string and buttons. $15 each.

Sorry, gone.

This is an oldie but goodie. I reclaimed a bunch of miscellaneous blank cards and envelopes months ago. I adhered metal tacks to the cards, which allows for magnets to stick to the cards. You can pick and choose from a variety of magnets available in the store. $3 per card with magnet of your choice.

May be available later... Depending on the availability of good reclaimed cards.

Succulent and air plant gardens in repurposed goblets are available in reds, oranges, greens and blues. $12

We rescued six more of these super cool acrylic swivel tulip chairs (minus full bases).
