salvation army select | marketing brainstorm

my marketing idea for "salvation army select" would be to gather great "used" furniture finds and refurbish them for a raffle in exchange for donations for the new store, OR pieces that the store could actually sell when they open. Hmmmm...

i visited the salvation army "family store" on Lee st. i found these pretty interesting (and very used!) side chairs that could be wonderfully refurbished with a little ingenuity. a little bit of paint, some fabric, or perhaps rope, straps, or strips of something.....?? these could be a really fun addition to anyone's decor!

the paint is worn and the seat cushion is vinyl, but this one has great potential!


this wicker jewel needs some extra tlc, but a great find nonetheless.



some leftover paint and fabric from previous projects...

LOVE the idea of refurbishing some furniture pieces found at thrift stores to then be combined into the displays! great way to extend the notion that older items can be reborn again by adding a little paint or fabric.

can't wait to see what other finds you all gather and start working on! :)
