T4G!

As our one 1-year anniversary nears, we're reflecting on the strong and growing reuse community we've been building with all of you this past year. And with the holidays coming up, we thought what better way to spend them than working together to give back to our community! So join us at the ReBuiliding Exchange, November 27th (the day after Thanksgiving) for our Thanks-For-Giving(T4G) friends and family volunteer day. Bring all the relatives who are in town for thanksgiving or just bring yourself an some pals and join us for a day of volunteering and fun! More details below!

Carpet + Glass + Steel Scrap = Coffee Table

Brandon Biederman has created this spectacular table. He took steel angle irons from a scrap yard near his father's house in mid west Wisconsin. He cut the glass from a larger, broken piece that had been previously used as a dinner table and the carpet came from some old carpet samples.

The Violet Hour

We are pleased to be a part of a new installation by A Middle West Collective at the Violet Hour. Our old growth 2x4's were purchased and installed on site by Dan Sheehy. The Violet Hour is located on 1520 N. Damen. Feel free to walk by and check out the awesome artwork of

Door Desk

Vanessa Roanhorse, a huge RX fan, has created this awesome table. She's still ordering some glass to be cut for the top and plans on possibly adding some shelves for the inside, but she said thus far it has been "easy as pie" to make!

A Crafty Pair

We are very excited to feature Sarah and Joseph Belknap some crafty customers of ours, Sarah and Joseph work hard to incorporate reuse material into their artwork and have used many materials from the ReBuilding Exchange. Recently they've made a house sculpture you can see at sarahandjoseph.com . It is made of items from our shop! They also have some fantastic house decor made out of used building materials they sell on their etsy store. Awesome job Sarah and Joseph!
