Seat Weaving While RVing
Coming to a Town Near You
As we are marketed to by TV shows, the internet, and peers to remodel our homes and replace old furniture with fast furniture, we are also adding more to the landfill in record numbers.
There’s a dark side to the home makeover called furniture waste, also known in the industry as “f-waste.”
Since furniture can’t easily be recycled like other types of waste, it often gets dumped in a landfill.
Furniture is the number one least-recycled item in a household

Even though it may not seem like it, by restoring and refinishing your existing furniture instead of buying new, you are helping to do your part in protecting our environment.
Scientific data shows that restoring and refinishing your furniture can drastically reduce your carbon footprint.
Don't live in a throwaway society.
“Fast Furniture”
“Fast Furniture”
“Fast Furniture” is sold by some of the biggest names in the furnishing industry. These pieces are often made using poor-quality materials and sold at low prices that many consider disposable.
The low quality and value of fast furniture mean it’s usually too expensive or difficult to repair, sell, or not accepted as a donation, and it‘s much more likely to end up on the curb than the more expensive, high-quality furniture of previous generations.
Don't Live in a Throw Away Society
Don't Live in a Throw Away Society
The culture of fast furniture encourages folks to update their home decor to follow constantly changing design trends.
Many people buy new furniture to replace the old, out-of-date pieces they already have, wasting their money and negatively impacting our environment.
Don't live in a throwaway society.
Newly Discovered Treasures
Newly Discovered Treasures
Taking part in the treasure hunt on Facebook, Kijiji, and Craigslist, or even around your dining table, is a great way to provide a new life to vintage and antique pieces made to last several lifetimes.
Many of these pieces are considered investments with values that increase with time.
A New Life
A New Life
With a bit of elbow grease, fresh oil or a splash of paint, some new cane or fresh weave, you won't even recognize that high quality, a well-built dining set that outlived so many design trends.
It's not garbage, ready to be sent to the local landfill.

It's functional art.
Waiting.
Yes, just waiting for you.
It can be so beautiful, so unique and intriguing.
It can be an expression of you.
Wake Up!
Wake Up!
It's waiting for you to awaken.
Awaken and release your muse to preserve your heirlooms and quality pieces for another generation.
Whether you are looking to give your older furniture a complete makeover to suit your evolving tastes or want it restored to its original glory to help enhance the vintage value, look, and feel of your home, furniture restoration can be your answer.
Opt for Restoration
Opt for Restoration
Opting for restoration instead of buying new can leave you with more money in your pockets at the end of the day, and who doesn't love that?
As a bonus, you get to keep all the furniture pieces that have been a part of your home and family over the years.

Restore, reuse, and repurpose to be part of the solution, not part of the problem.
