Slide Show: Let’s Get RE Sourceful
Slideshow: Create cake platters, candlestick centerpieces, ring boxes, name card displays, and more at RE Store’s Salvage Bride workshop on March 13
Bair and her husband-to-be aren’t interested in a ring pillow per se, but a vintage coffee can and some hat pins could do the trick. She also thinks a group of these would make a charming presentation of escort cards and table numbers.
Bair used discarded cabinet doors and chalkboard paint to create some sample signs. Speaking of paint: Recycled and DIY projects can be tricky if you’re not well-versed in safety matters. Bair and her associates know all about staying clear of lead-free paint and other potential downers. It’s that kind of expertise that makes this workshop especially appealing.
Chandelier pieces and light fixture parts make great candlesticks and votive holders.
Rachel Bair and outreach and marketing manager Sarah Krueger in RE Store’s classroom. The store hosts many workshops in this inspiring and motivating space, but I believe the March 13 course is the only one that includes tea and cake.
Downstairs in RE Store’s salvage shop, you’ll find all manner of inspiring materials. As Bair puts it, "There is so much material here, the only problem is staying focused on one project."
What could you do with dozens and dozens of doorknobs?
Or a collection of hooks? Bring your ideas, dreams, and tool belt to RE Store to sound out projects and get to work.
