Wicker Shelf

Day 34: Wicker Shelf

Needs a good scrubbing
but otherwise it's in great shape!
Perfect for all your garden stuff

I'm just a gal who can't say no. This wicker hand-me-down from my parents is perfectly nice and perfectly functional. Why not? Right?

Wrong. This shelf has been blocking the electrical outlet, the fuse box, the garage door opener and the people door for years. We've got plenty of built-in empty shelf space in the garage. It took five minutes to move the few things off this shelf onto another empty shelf. If I'd said no to begin with, it would probably be a lot cleaner now.

Old furniture is not easy to recycle and often ends in landfills. I found out that the best thing you can do to keep furniture out of landfills is to buy used furniture instead of new. The good news is that there is plenty of it. High quality. Cheap.

Case in point: do you like this wicker shelf? It's advertised on Craig's List right now for $0.

Act now.
