Our dog needed a ramp last February for a few months. She has recuperated and the ramp has been in our basement for many months. I decided over the December break we could use a bookcase and so, using only the ramp and some random materials, I created The Charlee Bookcase. The chevron pattern on the cupboard doors is made of reclaimed lath from a Barrie century home and the k***s are brass from a friends kitchen renovation.

Santa’s workshop is in full swing with a centre piece and bookshelf on todays agenda. The chevron wood is 100+ year old lath I got free from a home renovation last year. They were thrilled to get rid of it and I was psyched to have it!

We're working on something new and a little different from our usual blend of carpentry but still will be creative. Like what you see? Hit the subscribe button on YouTube and don’t forgot to like. Here's a little taste of what’s to come!

With one day left before the Holiday break, this might not have been the traditional Christmas story you were looking for - but totally the story you needed!

We have partnered with an extremely talented local artisan to create charcuterie aprons and boards. In our planning process, we didn’t anticipate getting cleaned out so quickly. With that said, we restocked aprons and are working on some charcuterie boards as well. Aprons are $26 with free shipping in Canada. If you see it on our page, it’s still available! DM for further inquiries! 🍷 🧀 🍇

Happy Sunday Salvagers! I picked up this terrific kneeling bench at an online auction yesterday and while I’m not necessarily sure what’s to be done with it, I couldn’t help but see it’s potential in the detailed panels and legs. Charlee plans to step back and come up with a new concept for this relic of the past. (She’s not thrilled about being tied up to the front steps and doesn’t always look this miserable!)

Back to school. Back to school. I hope the kids will think I’m cool! Best of luck to all my fellow educators, school staff, parents and families! Stay safe and PLEASE have fun!

WEEK 8: When your grandmother asks you for a place to put her pants, you deliver! 🌱 My grandmother is a seasonal Floridian and won’t likely be heading south this fall. I just so happened to have a small piece of pecky cypress panelling from Sarasota Salvage Downtown. I added a small strip of it to the base of the plant stand for a little southern charm. Whether she is north or south, there will always be a little bit of the sunshine state in her home. ☀️
