Trash Treasures Round II

Back again with another pretty cool find. This time I was just driving home from work and saw this big bunched up thing on the side of a dumpster. Being the inquisitive person I am I drove on up to see what it was. I should have snapped a photo of it as it was when I found it. After pulling it out I still didnt know what it was until I fully set it up. Here you have it...a Hammock!




And as an added bonus I found these too!



Some Old School Atomic Skis with poles. LOL. These will turn into a project bench/Chair that I am going to make out of old ski and snowboard equipment.


And a quick update. In my last find I showed you this chair here...



I sold that yesterday!

Trash Treasures

So I´ve been labeled the Trash King by close friends and family. I also have the luck of number 7 floating around with me. I´ve always been interested in others peoples unwanted items so naturally when I see some stuff on the curb I stop and take a look. If I like something I see, I take it.. why not "someones trash is another mans treasure" right? As of late I have been finding some really cool stuff. Stuff with VALUE. My latest find included items valued at over $1000 dollars and I´ll get to that in a minute. At this rate I will probably have to open a store soon. Or just have an always open garage sale like @CedEntertainer on the recent movie Larry Crowne.

I figured I would share my finds with you through this blog. This will be the first of many posts to come about what I find on my travels throughout the good ol county of Fairfax and surrounding areas.

Here goes the first official post of Trash Treasures and 2012!!

The new year started out with people cleaning out their old unwanted furniture, clothes, and other home accessories. This is what I have found this year so far. Everything is for sale! The nice Adirondack chair is from Plow & Hearth and has 2 cushions! All the cast iron and birds are from Pottery Barn and current inventory!
