My husband Brad and I had been creating and repurposing for several years. I have my own Hair Salon, and Brad was a contractor/carpenter. I always had envisioned us working together once the kids were grown. He is the organized one, perfect , precise, always knows where everything is, I am the visionary, not to organized, creatively messy, work best in a mess kind of gal... Opposites truly attract. We love to repurpose, recreate, furniture, flatware into jewerly, and decor. We can create jewerly for you from your Grandmas silverware. Makes a heartfelt gift for your families
A little about how this page got started, thank you for supporting us!! Brad had been the "honey do" guy for a lot of my salon clients so it was pretty easy to get some jobs lined up. We got everything figured out for him to start his own carpentry business. He had many talents in woodworking/ cabinetmaking, had worked in various fields that prepared him for this journey. We had a few jobs lined up...but we had a trip first. Our family was getting ready to go on a mission trip, we needed to raise money for. Brad decided he would make some crosses from all the scrap wood in the shop (he kept all pieces that most would have burnt)These crosses were all sizes , shapes, colors, some with battered and blemished wood, made beautiful again and into something else....my mind was spinning with thoughts about using old wood and pieces, and refining them, changing them into something else. I put them I the hair salon, not with a price but as a donation to help with our expenses. I also wanted to send a message that I learned from my husband, " There is no junk wood" no scrap to small to be used for something" I added little notes to the repurposed crosses to remind people that they too can be used for another purpose, that God didn't make any "junk", and that broken people can be made beautiful again. Just because they were a little tarnished, or had a scarred past, they still matter and can be loved into someone beautiful again. The crosses were a hit. Rescued n Redeemed was born
Blessings
Lori & Brad
