Trash to Treasure projects
“These little tables were rescued on the way home from piano lessons and then sat in my basement for about a year while I tried to figure

Shanna from Restoration Redoux says, “ I literally rescued this table out of my friends dumpster. One leg was wobbly, and it was all scratched up.” Time for a makeover!
