Have you ever heard the saying that one person's junk is another's treasures? Well, our name Rugged Remakes came as a result of the truth behind this saying. There is nothing quite as exciting as going to the thrift store and rummaging through all of the goodies on the shelves and coming out with old junk that can be turned into treasures. It is amazing how a little paint, burlap, or even a piece of ribbon can turn something that looked worn out and useless into beautiful rustic décor. However, the thrift store is not the only place that you can find these hidden treasures. All you have to do is look around you in your home or office and you can nearly always find something that most people would refer to as trash, that is just waiting to be remade into a treasure. By repurposing these items we are also helping our landfills by recycling. So before you throw away those old wine bottles or even tin vegetable cans, think about how they might be repurposed and used in some new way around your home or office. Thinking green can actually be a lot of fun.
