TEN REASONS TO JOIN FORRAGE
#3 - Because some things are not thrift worthy.
Thrift stores and donation centers are fantastic options for unneeded items. However, items like wood, piping, bricks, fencing, concrete, stones, or broken objects are often rejected from these business or trashed without second thought. These items are great finds! Help recirculate un-thriftable items by Forraging them.

We are loving this DIY Distressed Side Table Makeover. Not only does it look totally awesome, but the wood was rescued from a dilapidated trellis. Great story, and fantastic project. Rediscover lost, forgotten, and unused items.

Fascinating reverse-recycling study by Mieke Meijer! While normally paper is the product of wood, Mieke decided to work backward. Thus, upcycled newspapers were used to create wooden beams strong enough to build furniture and other structures. You can read more about this amazing process here. Great stuff!

Shopping “vintage” is a fantastic way to shop “used” or “upcycled” items, with a much more clever tagline. More and more, we’re seeing a rise in “retro” and “vintage” promotion, which is oh-so-awesome indeed! For all you “vintage” seekers, be sure to check out Jersey Ice Cream Co. Books, furniture, accessories, and more; all exhibited with some wonderfully creative photography.

Yes, yes, another pallet DIY. We can’t stay away. This one sparked our interest in that it’s oh so simple and yet, oh so useful. Wine storage, shelving, cupboard space? Inventive, rustic, and awesome.

Take a look at this outrageous (in a good way) Before/After from DesignSponge. This transformation is absolutely jaw dropping and only cost the couple $6,000 - which, when you look at the change, is pretty amazing. Shows what you can do with a little elbow grease!

Fantastic, eco-friendly approach to traditional food storage. This study, (or conceptual system) designed and implemented by Jihyn Ryou, explores food in its natural state. Everything from rooted vegetables (as seen above) to “breathing eggs”. An amazing look beyond the common refrigerator - and an innovative solution that breaks all the rules.
Read more about the study here.
