Gail Wilson from My Repurposed Life
So when you see discarded furniture and somewhat useful items on the side-of-the-road, how do you know if they’re worth repurposing?
We’re asking Gail Wilson, upcycling expert and host of My Repurposed Life how she decides.
Gail is a DIY maven! She loves to renovate and improve her home. When she’s not doing things around the house and yard, she’s busy in the shop building, and repurposing old unwanted furniture.

“I DIY, do you? I’ll show you how to DIY on the cheap, and transform thrift store and curb finds.” — Gail, My Repurposed Life

Great find Emily! Proving also that you have to be careful on roadside finds. Thanks for posting!
I was driving down the freeway when I saw someone had dumped an old dresser on the side of the road. First of all, even though it has a sign that says "free" on it, that is still littering. Second, it was still in fairly good condition. I cleaned it up and repainted it, and now you'd never be able to tell that it wasn't new. http://www.athomefurnishingsaz.com/Home/Bedroom/
