armoire
Trash picking is my hobby. Granted, it’s not a very glamorous one and not really all that interesting, but I love it. And the trash gods (garbage men?) have been good to me lately. This is the biggest and probably the best thing I’ve ever found on the curb. It took much help from many friends to actually get it to my house, but I would have lugged it home on my back if that’s what it took. It has three shelves, but only one at the moment because my kids think it’s their clubhouse. The drawers actually work and there are two sets of hinges on each door so they can open all the way (270 degrees). It’s on our porch now and I hope to fill it up with art supplies for rainy days. But it will be perfect as an extra closet one day.
I know there are other out there like me who sift through trash when no one is looking. Who can blame you–people throw away good shit. I started a flickr group: trash pickins. Because you want to brag about what you found, but don’t want to get that look from people when you tell them where you got it.
