ARTful: using or characterized by art and skill

Salvage: to rescue or save especially from wreckage or ruin


[ARTful] Salvage was born from a love of creating, repurposing and salvaging. I simply abhor seeing perfectly "useful" items headed for the landfill or tucked away in a cardboard box, never seeing the light of day. I believe there is always beauty to be found, even under a layer of rust or a coating of dust. I see scratches, dents or imperfections as badges of honor to be worn proudly. I have a great love for the history, story and life of a piece. We lovingly dream up ways of restoring new life to these discarded and neglected fragments of life. I am glad you are here and hope you will come again often. Please make yourself at home; friends are always welcome. I'd be thrilled to hear from you and get to know you better.

Great day for ARTful Salvage

We had visited a wonderful local Antique, Restaurant and Garden Shop a few weeks ago. Totally our kind of stuff....garden ART, stained glass windows, antiques.....and much more. They were interested in seeing some of our work. Today we had the opportunity to share with them. We rec'd such positive feedback from the staff there. They bought several pieces on the spot! I was so happy. It's always nice to sell, but for me, the feedback is also priceless! Thanks guys!

You can find our work at The Barn, in Lake Alfred, FL. Check them out if you are in the area!

Here are the pieces that are now living at the barn! :)

Thanks go out to Drew and Annie for their positive feedback and purchases! If you'd like to purchase some gorgeous Garden ART for your home please contact us! As always, we welcome your feedback.
